Disc brake conversion question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have the original drum brakes all around on my 67. The brakes are quick to lock up if pressed hard. Is this normal? I haven't driven one with drums in quite some time. I want to eventually swap tp disc. Are they really needed on all four or will just the front do? I will probably get a new kit for it, but the ones I see require 17" wheels. Do I have to change wheels to do this? I currently have the P225/60 R15 BFG's on 15" Weld wheels.
