Good luck, the white smoke is probably gas, I would consider Disc brakes mandatory in my case, I drive a little to fast, and tend to space off in LaLa land occasionaly, if you have ever slammed on your brakes in traffic you will appreciate the disc's , remember in braking it is that last couple of inches that matter, good is sometimes not good enough ! if you are a safe driver, then drums might work, but please stay to the right lane if at all possible.. LOL, seriously though discs are nice when you can afford it, for my 69 Suburban I bought a disc setup of a '72, including front half of frame, and rear axle from a board member for $120.00 , It is 5 lug though... to me originality only matters when we are talking about what's in the drivers seat. I like the ease of finding 5 lug wheels as a bonus.
