Re: 1969 gmc
When I rebuilt the '70 C/30 I used for my business I never considered converting to discs like you see people do today. I located all new parts and rebuilt the whole system. This was a 157" wheelbase truck with an 11' service body with 15' ladder racks, always loaded up, too. That thing stopped just fine. I went all out because I was building a daily work truck rather than buy new. You could get the same results without going to that extent. Drum brakes are very serviceable.
