If you can get replacement drums, I’d stick with drums, perf difference minimal to non-existent. But I am assuming you’re asking in case you can’t find drums, not because you specifically want rear disks “just because” - is that the case? The above system looks like a pretty nice install. One would think that as popular as these trucks are that there would be more basic replacement parts than upgrade kits. I ran into this same problem when I did rear brakes on my 71 w/D60. Felt like I won the lottery when I found the right drums, new.
