Brake Drum Wear
Using a specialized gauge to show wear levels on brake drums is the best way to indicate wear, however there is a visual method.

To give an easy indication of wear, GM builds a taper into their drums. The attached photos show this taper. When the drum is turned, the taper becomes smaller. Beware of drums that have been turned so much that the taper is no longer visible.
