Safety vs Original - Brakes and Roll bars - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

-Currently I am running the original front drum setup on my 69. Seem to work good. Many people have changed to the disk setup, but are the drums really that unsafe? I really want to keep the factory setup, but don't want brake failure either!

-Also, I really enjoy the look of the classic blazer (69) as it came without the rollbar. I also know this is not the safest if a rollover occured. But I only use for street driving so what are the chances. Thoughts?
