Lowering Spindles with Drum Brakes??
Will this work? My 67' has drum brakes in the front. Do i have to get disk brakes for this to work? if so, do i have to buy a kit or is there brakes i can use from another vehicle??

Every lowering spindle I've ever seen was for use with disc brakes and upgrading the spindle and brakes at the same time is very reasonable in price.

Sorry. You a have to do the upgrade to disc at the same time. No one makes drop spindles for a drum brake application. If your looking to lower your truck there's always coils.
