I would suggest that you scrub the post you mentioned. The best way to
avoid problems, unless you have someone who can tell you, is to take a
stroll true your friendly salvage yard and look over many brake systems.
If your retrofitting a truck with 4 wheel drums then find a vehicle with 4
wheel drums and make a note of it. There is a gm unit that was very popular
that I put on my 715 that was used on the corvair and a number of other gm 4
wheel drum vehicles of the day for example. If you really want to go the
above route you might try a speed shop, they seem to have all kinds of
goodies that you won't find at an auto parts store.
