You're correct about the k trucks. But the option was available in 70 (and maybe 69?) without disc brakes.
I worked on and off for 2 different Chevy dealers from '70 to '72, and that's what I remember being the case, for the spare. Of course, I've misremembered more than one thing from that era! I don't know about '71 specifically for power brakes, my understanding is what I wrote. Maybe someone with a '71 will chime in.

My '70 is a Longhorn, but is missing the scripts on the bed. I suspect that it was hit and repaired, because the box is not truly square- something I didn't know until I had the new shell put on and it didn't line up right. It doesn't appear to have ever had the holes for the scripts. Possibly it was built on a hangover Monday and the guy forgot to put them on.
