I have the factory power brake booster in my 64 1/2 ton with automatic trans, and am in the process of converting from drums in the front to discs. I have been told I can use the existing booster add a dual outlet master cylinder and proportioning valve to do this, but it seems that the existing booster would not have the same output as a later one designed for discs. Anyone know if I can use the existing booster?

Why did you use the manual master cylinder, and does it stop well?

The power master has a differentt pushrod setup than the original booster-it is more flush fitting whereas the OE booster requires a longer pushrod. I'm sure it was due to many power boosters that were added at the dealer level-they used the same master 63-66 for power or manual. Brian
