RE: brakes
If you do the rears, definitley do the wheel cylinder upgrade. Cheapest improvment for better braking....EVER! Just make sure you bleed them correctly and your adjusters are working. 
Info can be found here: http://www.dieseltruckresource.com/d...5&pagenumber=3
As far as a how to, there really isn't much to it. Remove the wheel...remove the caliper (hange it from the frame with some wire...don't actually remove the brake line). Pull the rotor...put the new one on. Reinstall the caliper with the new pads....repeat.
And the rears are done just like any other brake drum setup. Only you should upgrade to the GM wheel cylinders
