Stupid question (I apologize)

I have a 2001 F250 Superduty, Supercab. First of all, I am only asking this question because it is too dark and cold to go outside and look. What kind of brakes does the 2001 model year superduty have? I know I have disc brakes up front, but are they disc in the rear as well? Or is it the standard drum brakes? The reason I am asking is because I noticed I have a little problem stopping with the added weight of the plow and 600 lbs of sand in the back. (Yes, I am bored and I want to on-line shop for brakes and just want to know what to look for).
Thanks to all for not laughing and calling me names...

The only stupid question is the one that is not asked. Anyways, they are discs, front and rear.

Its not a stupid question.... remember 99.9% of us are here to help( there may be a few that feel its important to degrade people ie, look 2 posts above this one) and I venture to guess that 100% of us dont know the answers to everything so I say ask any question you want an honest answer to.....

BTW, discs up front, drums on the back....:-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Must be darn few, in fact, I can only think of one right now. Way to go Starratt04. Such a great contribution to the site!

When did they switch to 4 wheel disks? Mine has disks at all four corners.
