I'm not Bob, but I agree with him. Let me add a little more data:

In 45 years, I have only replaced ONE Type 3 rear drum. And that was 
the one aftermarket one that had a center web that was too thick. I 
have never turned a rear drum. If your drum is "out of round" because 
of some rust, it should just be sanded off with coarse emery.

In the same time, I have turned or replaced only a handful of Type 3 
front disks.
