in VW's when you have the breaks adjusted out too far they tend to grab when reversing. There is an auto adjuster in the rear drum to keep your rear brakes adjusting. If the brakes are worn out they will "hang up" after reverse and cause squeeling.

Is it possible to exchange drum brakes into disc brakes on a 1970 Datsun Pick-up and has anyone ever accomplished it?

Anything is possible !!! All it takes is MONEY & TIME !! I Don't mean to be a wise guy, only the truth is spoken here! personally, I don't know of anyone who has done that conversion, But my question to you is, why would you go through that expense on a 37 year old vehicle? Honestly, for that kind of money, you can buy a new truck with rear disc brakes already on it. But that's just my honest opinion. Ben
