Mike: LISTEN TO glennpmm. Don't press the hubs out.

"MiC" the drum ID and then if it is below 12.060 in. use it. From what you say that car has sat for so much of it's life that the drums are probably still good to use. Measure the ID and find out first BEFORE doing anything rash.

From the looks of the photo V8 posted the brake shoes don't have much wear.
I bet you can use the drums "as is".
