Its not just '53 car drums that will fit, its from a few years earlier, through I htink '54. You want more than just the hub and drum, you also need the backing plate, and be prepared to do a little parts swapping with the bearings and races to get the right combination.
As for what other makes will fit, I've seen '50s Buick or Oldsmobile front drums used on one of these trucks, but they aren't going to fit your Corvette wheels.
Instead of a drum swap I converted my '55 1st to disk brakes using a kit from ChevyDuty. Classic Performance and others also make kits to do the same thing. If you go the disk approach you'll need new brake lines on the front, and will probably need a dual master also.
