Hi Bob hope your doing well, ok I can't help but buy into this, are you 
people insane? Drum brakes are good? who are we kidding. For a start 
modern trucks are moving to disc brakes however the technology is still 
developing and maintenance costs are high which is a big factor in the 
trucking industry. If you enjoy ending up sideways during emergency 
braking sure stick to drums, and if you enjoy the thrill of brake fade 
once again go for it. Disc brakes outperform drum in virtually every 
sense, which is why modern cars use them all round these days. Sure if 
your into originality stick with your drum brakes but lets not pretend 
they can compete with a modern disc brake system .
That is my 2 cents worth
Cheers
Larry Varley
