All very good advice so far but one thing to do on a rig that old is to replace all your rubber brake lines,they have a tendency to degrade over time.They will look fine from the outside but may collapse on the inside leading to no braking.
A common over looked repair when having a braking problems....

Been there done that. Had new brakes put on. Hit the road and went to exit and NO brakes, damnn near died.
Problem? Front brake lines. They look just fine on the outside BUT they Collapsed on the inside. Break repair guy never suggested to replace the brake lines. :R
and if you have a Ford they have to be replaced with OEM. No after market available. Soooo you will be sitting in a shop waiting for a Ford truck dealership to deliver them where ever you have broken down. And hope there is one nearby.
