The 71 chevy truck caliper is a D-52 and they are a direct replacement. You can buy the pads locally if you want. The bigger rotors will not fit on a stock spindle from all my searching I have done.
The only way to get a bigger brake up front is buying a new set of spindles. Are have some one fab up whatever you need.
