Had a '73 C10 with manual front disk brakes, and I liked that setup better than the power disks on my '69 Nova.

Reason being that because of the foot pressure required to actuate the manual disk brakes, you can really control them right to the point of lockup without going too far and skidding.

Kind of a pre-anti-lock brake system to my mind.

Yep you got a great deal on that truck IMHO, heck it would likely cost more than that just to replace the factory issue heavy duty drum brakes in my '69 C10 with aftermarket disk brake parts.

...oh, and I think the '67-'72 stepsides are much more rare around here than the fleetside beds, so that just adds to the cool factor as far as I'm concerned.
