Hedman #69260's are the headers that are intended for the '63-'66 trucks. You can also use Hedman #69090's, but if you have a manual trans, the clutch bellcrank is a close fit.

As for the 6 lug disc brakes, that is all explained in the link I posted above. You can use the '71-'87 spindles with 6 lug aftermarket rotors.

From what I've read 60-62 GMCs had trailing arms and 63-66 had leaf springs.
