Default Can't find brakes for 98 ranger xl

Well, I haven't gotten any further. Still no brakes. Does anybody know where to buy parts for these old trucks? Rock auto and local part stores can't get them.
I have 9" drums on the back and 10" rotors on the front. Suspension in front is coils.
The front rotors only have holes.
Beginning to wonder how good an idea it was to rebuild this old girl.

Is this the right area for this request?

Not sure how you've been looking on RockAuto, but I have replaced damn near everything on my 99 already, so I jumped on RockAuto's website and looked up your truck. How positive are you that your front rotors don't have hubs as a single unit? From everything I've seen, if your truck is 2WD, the front rotors and hubs are a single unit. If it's 4WD, the front hubs and rotors are individual pieces. If your truck truly is an oddball, I'd say to just measure the rotors that are on it and look at the details of the hubless rotor options on RockAuto for one that measures the same, regardless of what it says it's for. There are options for bare rotors for the rear, or if one measures up the same, get a 4WD bare rotor for the front. Are you positive that someone before you didn't put 10" rotors on when they should have been 11"? Pads might still be "close enough" to work fine.
