I mean no criticism here about your using the drum brakes up since they are 
there & working, BUT, you've got a heavy wagon that may weigh 2.5 TONS.   If 
the worst happens, you'd probably feel relieved you installed some thing along 
the lines of C-body disc brake assemblies up front.

Because of the physics of weight transfer under braking, the front brakes do 
the great majority of the stopping work.  You can leave the rear drums on, I 
did.  If you do this change, get an adjustable front-to-rear proportioning 
valve and get it calibrated in an empty parking lot.

If you knew all this, hope you didn't think this was "preaching", but I am 
old enough that I rode & sometimes drove the old muscle cars of the '60's and 
'70's when they were new & they had way more "go" than "stop".
