Dana 60 brake question

Haven't been here in a while. Got caught up in "Life". Good to be alive.

My question is, when changing to a Dana 60 rear end in an F-3, do you run into any brake problems with the original brakes on the front? Not to sure of mixin and matchin brake components.

When I was looking for a Dana I couldn't locate one, now when I'm looking for another pair of 19.5's I stumble across a 1978 Dana 60 with a 3.54 gear ratio. (I have two 19.5's)

Haven't got to the rear of the truck yet, but going to have to make a decision soon.

1950 f-3, flathead 4 speed in case any body wonders.

ps Ax, thanks so much for the welding tutorial, might learn how yet.

Must be old timers disease, I need 72 or older. That will teach me to check my notes.
