I have one from a '72 3/4-ton I got for picking it up, they can be found. '71 because it is the only year with both disk brakes and six lugs.
Unless you're driving this thing like it’s a race car or carrying far too heavy a load the stock brakes should be adequate under most circumstances. You might want to find a manual and make sure the brakes are properly adjusted.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | |
