My 72 C-20 front brake pads were around $45, and the rear shoes were about the same. The wheel cylinders are around 35 bucks, but I was able to use rebuild kits for $5 instead. The spring/hardware kit was $10. If you have to replace the drums, that's where you run into about $100+ for new ones. The rear axle seals were about $35 each. Mine is a Dana 60 in case it matters. Good luck with it, I would look for front discs from a 72 C-20. They should be a straight forward swap
