I would lean a lot more toward a big rig system that had them like maybe mentioned above vs an aftermarket deal or F-700 stuff, especially if this truck will be heavy and tow. Undersized disc system can overheat and fade quick, especially if multiple such stops are needed. I'm not telling you what to do, well maybe I am, but front brakes are awfully important, on anything, and I am very much a pro-disc brake person. What does an F-700 weigh vs your truck? Maybe 1/2 or less? What is the diameter of the rotors on your Pete that has them? 15" looks small on the link you posted. Same size as the hub diameter? We want you to stick around, because if you don't, then you won't buy any more starters/alternators/AC bracket kits from me.
