Forget all the "modern highway" BS you don't need disc brakes unless you are driving it on windy mountain roads or something like that where the drums get overheated.
Just normal driving you don't need them.

Well I could get by with the drum brakes but I want to pull a trailer and drive anywhere (Through Colorado and Arizona) with out having to worry about it. The brakes need redone anyway and the rear axle already has disk brakes so might as well upgrade the front.
