Yes, late in 1931 Ford used cast iron drums. I have a pair of fronts that came off an old homemade trailer that are still standard, never have been turned. 32 on up used cast iron drums. These were all 12 inch dia. drums. The '32 - '34 drums looked just like the late '31 drums except one inch larger.
32-34 front brakes can be installed on a model A with no modifications. The result is more braking on the front axle where it is needed and better overall brakes. The trick is to find good usable '32-34 drums which are not being reproduced.
