Just how bad are the brakes of 67-70's c10?

Okay, in stock form when these trucks were new how bad were the brakes? I've had someone who restores these trucks say they weren't. He went on and told me he puts on a 68' camaro power brake booster on a frame off restored 1/2 tons when putting them back together. I know these trucks are old now but were the brakes decent when they were new or are they now when totally redone?

I know today the fact to consider is even if your brakes are decent and if someone in a newer car infront of you can stop in half the distance and they slow down suddenly your chance or rear ending them is bad. That and everyone drives 80mph with coffee in one hand and the phone in the other.

One of my older trucks is definitely getting 71' discs and the other 67 I plan on using to work around with, haul tree limbs, the occasional one axle utility trailer so forth. I thought of redoing all the drums on it. It will also be spending its time in a small town not running down the interstate with a camper and boat behind it. Any insight...
