I was kinda wondering the same thing? I drive a 66 c20 on a 63 GMC 1 ton chassis with a stock drive line. I've had 3k lbs on the bed of it at the scrap yard and didn't have one bit trouble stopping. Drum brakes work well if properly adjusted and serviced. For the time and effort, not to mention cost, it might be worth a second thought about servicing what you got.
