oh yeah, forgot. My 1st truck was a 79 D100. /6 3 on the tree, manual disc and "armstrong" steering. I hauled and towed with that truck especially after a V8 swap and I never had a problem bringing that truck to a stop. pedal effort wasnt that bad at all.
More recently my son had a 80 stepside, /6, 4 speed OD, did have power brakes but still manual steering/ which I thought was a weird combo.

I've also seen F bodies and D100 pickups with manual disc brakes.

I have a listing for repro '72-'74 E body manual disc master cylinder lines (to iron combination valve).

I don't have a listing for any other B/E body applications with manual disc brakes.

manual pedal ratios are different than the power brakes, but i can't give you the exact ratios.
however, they will be around the 6:1 or so, on average.

For the factroy options, best on line resource is Hamtramck Historical
Look at the dealer data books.

For '68 there's a Canadian fleet data book. Power booster mandatory for fleet Belivideres https://www.hamtramck-historical.com/dealerships/1968FleetBook-03.shtml see page 2 of Fast facts under Belvidere.


Some years he's got ordering info posted as well. For example https://www.hamtramck-historical.com/dealerships/_1968-DealershipsOrderingInfo.shtml?load_img=35
and one for '72 https://www.hamtramck-historical.com/images/dealerships/1972PlymouthOrderingInfo/1972_page_76.jpg

I'm not saying those are absolutes, but gives a pretty good idea of whether it was a somewaht normal combination,

Here's '74 showing both manual and power disc options.
