There's a lot of options on brakes.

The stock front disc/rear drum setup on 71 and newer, are a pretty good way to go (73 and newer are same as 71 and 72's), especially when compared to the 4 wheel drum stuff previous.

Just my POV, I'll be installing factory type front disc on my 67 and 68, and not look back.

You can use D153 on calipers that use D52 pads. They were light duty 3/4 ton pads on pickups in the 70's and 80's. They have a little more surface area than the D52's.

Keep up the great work!!!
