I used 1978 C10 calipers and 1978 K10 rotors to keep my 6 lug wheels. I fabricated the caliper brackets from plywood and then cut them from metal. I used 1978 flex hoses, ran my own brake lines. Used residual valves to keep fluid at the calipers and wheel cylinders. Bought a distribution box with a brake switch, but used a mechanical switch instead.
