Thank you guys for the help. The conversion kit is high. I like the booster idea but mine is a straight drive and the web at LCM says only for automatic. How about yours Brian is it auto or straight drive?
My truck has a 4-speed. I've read that you can use a master cylinder booster kit with a manual transmission, but you have to convert the clutch to a hydraulic throw-out bearing set up as there is no room for the mechanical linkage. I don't know about that. Before I started my project I read all I could find on the disc vs. Bendix and power vs. manual brake scenarios then came to the conclusion that manual Bendix brakes (with FF rated shoes) are just as good as manual disc brakes, and that I didn't need power brakes based on how I plan to use the truck.
