1970 c20 drum brakes stopping power when towing

[paulbrgr9999]

I wanted to get opinions regarding using my 1970 c20 to tow a small toy hauler (4 to 5 thousand pounds max) with the drum brakes I have now. I have to admit that the brakes require a lot of input to stop right now. Of course the trailer will have brakes.

I have looked at the disc upgrades avaliable but I got to say installing them is beyond my ability. Paying a shop is going to cost me probably 3 grand to upgrade to disc.

The truck has power brakes but they are underwelming. Maybe I am just spoiled because I can stop my 09 ford ranger quickly with just my big toe on the brake petal.

Anyone have any ideas for improving the drum brakes at a reasonable cost without a lot of technical ability ie bolt on stuff?
