Re: 70 c30 front disc swap help?

Years ago I had to swap out the chassis for my '72 and scored a '69 camper special (it's a 1 ton frame with some rear extenders). To make a long story short, I kept the front end from the donor chassis which had drum brakes and changed the valve and master to match. I am actually quite satisfied with my new setup. I have typical issues like the truck's desire to go zinging off into the weeds on occasion but a problem I don't have anymore is warping the rotors whenever I pull my moving trailer. Yes it stops a little slower even with the 7in booster but I am in the habit of downshifting and I just leave a little extra space and try harder not to go postal whenever someone cuts me off.
