Default 70s Dodge Truck Upgrade Question

Hey,

I'm looking to find a brand new brake setup for my 76 Dodge D100 extended cab longbed.

I have disks front and drums rear, but for the past few years of driving it, the rears would always lock up easily and I would skid.

I'd like to go ahead and get larger brakes to make stopping more effortless anyway, since its a huge truck.

Does anyone know a very good site that I wouldnt have trouble finding brake parts for? It's not a Mustang or Charger so they wouldnt have it on YearOne.com.

Any help I would appreciate, thanks!

They have a lot of rear drum to disc brake conversions. I have one from them on my '97 F-350. Some of the parts are used off of other cars like the calipers and pads. They custom made the rotors and brackets for my rear axle. Very nice pieces.

Edit: The kits are not cheap, but my F350 on 38's stops as good as my vette. I upgraded to cryo treated Powerslot slotted rotors and Hawk hp+ pads on the front too.
