Re: Decent Brakes on a 70 C10 for today

I have the standard disc swap on my 66 and over drums it is a lot better. Now jabbing the brakes will still lock up all 4 wheels, good control with a precise pedal push will bring the truck to a stop much shorter than the drums ever could. I run ceramic pads and good rear brake shoes. I have vacuum power brakes and they work fine.
