Look in the glove box on the door it should tell you the size
I think looking at your Pic's they are the larger of the two

I thought it was either 9" or 11".
Just by looking and judging by the year of your truck I'd say 9 inch.
Also, if you have 15 inch rims you have the 9 inch ones. (15 inch rims won't fit on 11" inch brakes).
And lastly, there should also be a sticker in your glovebox letting you know the size.

Fantastic photos!
Right now I am just gathering parts for the rear brakes because I need to fix my power steering leaks first.
As for the parts, I believe I will need these:
Do I need any special tools? Thanks!

No special tools needed. There is a spring tool for the brakes that you'll see online but a screw driver works just fine.
It may be worth it to invest in a flare wrench when trying to remove your brake lines from the wheel cylinder. It's extremely easy to round off the edges with a regular wrench.

Some info that may help always adjust the back brakes with the parking brake off just be sure it cant roll away on you put blocks under the wheels if a manual trans put it in first gear as a backup with the blocks.
Oh and don't over adjust or the back brakes will bind on you and be very very very hard to get the drums off.
Just go easy on the adjusting go in steps if not sure
