Installing new pads/thermostat... ?s 140-160 1968

I am going to install new pads by myself in the front of my car to provide me with some insurance for a while until I can get all new/rebuilt brakes. How exactly should I go about doing this? Also, my car has never had a problem overheating, but now it does... It goes like this; i turn the car on, and once it gets up to operating temperature it keeps on heating up until it starts blowing coolant out of the expansion tank and onto the exhaust manifold and THEN finally the thermostat opens up. I don't know if the problem is the thermostat or not, but I'm replacing it anyway. Only $6 @ Knecht's autoparts. How should I go about doing this?
Thanks in advance,
Later,
Kyle
