New (to me) '65 GMC C1000! Help with build planning

[rudf0rd]

Hey all,

First off thanks for the fantastic resource here that was able to get my truck back on the road! When I bought it, it hadn't been started in almost a decade and the wiring was all kinds of shot. Thanks to the board, I was able to figure out the fuel pump was shot and find the wiring gremlins in the rear tail light harness.

So now that it's running, I'm in need of some more help. I'm trying to plan out a build that will be in two stages: 1) Right now, and 2) When I can afford it. Ha.

The right now part of the build is for drivability, mostly brakes. The truck currently has drums all the way around, a 10 bolt rear and 6 lug wheels. I'd like to replace at least the front with disc. Next year, i'd like to add some of the pbfab suspension, but don't want to re-buy spindles, hubs, brakes, etc. I'm also planning on adding wheels as well, but not sure what yet.

What's the best way to upgrade brakes now and not screw myself later?
