I agree, I just rebuilt the entire braking system on my '70 K/5 with disc fronts, now it will lock all 4 wheels with no problem.
The front brakes do most of the stopping, and if it can lock the wheels with rear drums, I see no reason to put disc on the rear, other than cosmetic appeal or you just want to lock the rear wheels more easily.
