New to these trucks and I am very glad I found this great site.....Have a couple of Questions...

I just bought a 72 gmc 1/2.... but from what I've read it should have factory disc brakes upfront...well mine does not, so Im guessing the frame is not original (don't believe anyone would covert to drums)....

My first question is

#1 would rebuilding drum setup all the way around be suitable for DD use (rain,traffic, hard stopping)?? I dont really have the money for a disc swap NOW but if the drum/drum setup isn't ok for DD then I might as well save the money and not rebuild them.....
