Re: How many have restored trucks and left their front drum brakes?

I don't trust 50 year old brake parts. I recomend replacing everything so why not upgrade?
One of my original drums exploded going down the highway in a panic stop situation a few years ago.
I tow and haul often and drive my truck in rush hour traffic so the upgrade was a no brainer for me.

That being said, there's nothing wrong with drum brakes but disc are better.
