brakes
i have a 70 c-10 long bed with a 350 that i use to pull my 3500 pound commercial fishing work boat. the brakes are stock drums front and back and dont exactly stop on a dime. so my question is what in you guys opinion would increase my stopping power? power drums, manual disc, power disc? had a 06 silverado that pulled the boat and it did fine with no trailer brakes so if i could get it anywhere close to that id be happy. thanks for any advice

Re: brakes
Power disk would be the best out of what you listed, but considerably more expensive than just a good brake job + adding a booster... which would do wonders in its self. Depending on a few factors... local terrain (hills), the frequency in which you drag this boat around, speed in which you travel, local population/congestion... Personally, I would try adding a booster and making sure the 4 wheel drums are up to snuff first. While drums aren't the best, they aren't as bad as everyone makes them out to be.
