1/2 ton (lots of kits) or larger (not so many)?
Power brakes or not? I was happy with the non-power assisted front disk/rear drum brakes I put on my '57. My '52 came to me with front disks and a power booster. Works good but takes up a lot of space between the left side of the transmission (where the shift linkage is if you have a 3 on the tree) and the frame. In either case you'll need a dual chamber master cylinder and assorted plumbing parts.
You'll most likely not be able to check the fluid level through the stock hole in the cab floor.
