No matter what route you choose, just make sure the master cylinder you buy matches your GVWR. If you get a master that is too small, you won't have functioning brakes. Don't ask me how I know. Lol

Best of luck to you! Can't wait to see what you accomplish on your truck.
Thanks! I will stick with the drums first, disc brakes might be an option in the future. I am also looking to add seat belts for added safety (mine came without).

Edit: When I get some work done, I'll start a thread in the build section, so you guys can follow the build.

Its going to be a driver for dry weather and used for work when I can, so no show truck. As you can see it's been painted over in the A Team paint scheme and I'll probably keep it that way. I've been following TJ's Crustine build and I am looking to go a similar route on this truck.
