Re: 71 K-20 rear

Glad to hear things are clearing up. As to rear disc brakes, well I gave a good reason (#5) not to run them due to the park brake issue. Some people don't care at all and most people don't load their truck to its rated limit. Depending on a parking pawl is not a good way to go either. However they are easy to work on and as I understand about 75lb lighter.
Properly set up stock rear drum brakes are fine most of the time though.
