 Finding brake parts for 3800 1 ton

Thanks for allowing me to join. I have a ‘47.2 3800 1 ton that needs the brakes redone. What’s the best course of action? This truck is most likely going to just putt around a farm and not be driven often on the road. Is it worth trying to switch to discs or does someone make all the parts for the drums. I think I’m just gonna need shoes, hardware, wheel cylinders, and Master cylinder (so everything besides the drums lol). I’m really just trying to get this thing back driving again. It’s been sitting since 1998 and it went through a flood 5 years ago. Truck is extremely solid (no rust in the body anywhere I can find) so I think it’s worth saving. Let me know what you guys think.

Rebuild the stock set up. If the drums are good you’re golden. If not then you have a challenge on your hands. For your plans, stock is just fine.

Check our usual suspects for brake parts. You may have to send the shoes out to get relined. My local NAPA helped me with that.

Anyone who relines clutch’s can reline brake pads.

I agree with everyone to keep the stock brake setup for your use. I converted mine to power disc but I do a lot of higher speeds on the road. If you do some digging, all of the stock parts are available . Some of the vendors are on this site.
