You need to have the drums turned provided they are within specs. Any shop that can turn them can measure them for you. They just pull off (parking brake OFF). The shoes are not too tough to replace. You should replace springs /star adjusters when shoes replaces & sold in kits at better auto parts stores. Do 1 wheel & use other for an example. There is a rear & fwd shoe in each one. They are not the same size. These must go on proper sides for each wheel & ensure star adjuster turns in right direction-check before disassembly. There are several springs so take a bunch of pix also before disassembly. Once you get drums back on, use star adjusters (there is usually a slot to put screwdriver through) to spread out pads until you feel a slight drag & you are done. There are some special brake handtools for this which you can buy or can do with other common tools.

Some versions had rotors all around, but 99% of these trucks had rear drum brakes.,,,,,,,,,,,disc and rotor brakes are the same thing, they are the ones that are squeesed from both sides with pads and A calliper, DRUM brakes are the ones that have "shoes" on the inside pushing outward.Hope this helps, Jamison.
How do you change drum brakes into rotor brakes on a 95 - 99 Monte Carlo?
I wasn't aware they still came with drum brakes... I've owned three and they've all been 4-wheel disc. If drums were still an option, it will take replacing all factory parts which are different from drums to discs and could be very expensive. This may include the wheel speed sensors and possibly the ABS unit itself. It doesn't sound worth the effort.
