There were factory options for brake systems on most of the offerings through GM. After the mild makeover in '81, the lighter duty 1/2 ton Squarebody trucks came standard w/the 1" brakes but you could order them w/the optional HD 1.25" set-up. Higher optioned trucks would typically have the 1.25" brake set-up.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
