Can you think of any factory vehicle with front drums and rear disc? Not to say what the manufacturers do is the only way, but what they do is a good guide and pretty much will be safe.
I can only think of 1 off the top of my head, the 1984 Yamaha Moto-4 ATV. It had drums on both front wheels, and a single disk on the rear axle. I had one back in the '80s, almost never used the front brakes, as the rear was sufficient to stop it most of the time.
Of course this really isn't a good comparison to trying it on a full size truck.
