I figure that unless you're running an old skool high compression engine, where your truck almost stops when you take your foot off the accelerator, discs would be the way to go.

Not in cars........GM put disc brakes on the option list when the 375 HP/396 Ci and the 425 HP/ 427 CI was king, the trucks may have not gotten them until 71 but then none of the other manufactures were putting disc brakes on a truck until after 1971. In fact on SS Chevelles after 1969 Disc Brakes were a required option, so GM knew that they were much better than drums.
