Finally got the truck running good. Now I need to check on the brakes.

Thinking about keeping the manual brakes,with the single cylinder. Has anyone done this? Brakes work ok?

Can I just add a power booster to the existing single master cylinder (RockAuto)? Is this driven by manifold vacuuM Can I just tee off the PCV valve hose?

Also, are there many differences in brake shoe sizes on these trucks? Rockauto lists a few different options - do I need to disassemble everything and measure the drums first?
