I know this subject has been beat to death, but wondering if there has been some new brake thrus (<< PUN)

any way i found this while researching the topic:

http://www.carcraft.com/techarticles...kyard_builder/

Im doing a 1964 short bed fleet side, I just upgraded the front end to 1979 5 lug spindles and a arms.
Next i was about to pick up some 1971 c10 5 lug drums and have a a machine shop turn my 6 lug 1964 axles to 5 lug using the 71 drum as a guide.

But since i saw this article i was wondering if anyone out there has done a junk yard swap on our 60-66 trucks to this camaro brake setup?
