Brake upgrade

Looking at brake options to more readily available parts since from what I understand replacement drums are not available for my 71 f600 5k front and eaton 15201 rear. Please don't kill me but I know at least the isuzi NPR trucks had a very similiar( close metric equivalent) bolt pattern. Has anybody adapted the brakes from these axles to the factory axles or swapped both axles into a 20k gvw truck. From what I see I could get an NPR-HD front with a 6830 weight rating to replace my 5k front and the NPR-HD with a 14550 rating to replace my 15k rear. I'm sure probably have to do some driveshaft and flange work but seems would have similiar overall weight capacity.
