Dual Reservoir was mandatory in 1967. Start with a '67 or '68 Chevy panel truck system designed for 4 wheel drum brakes.

I would check into a power brake setup and an adjustable proportioning valve. You can rent a double flaring tool to flare brake lines at many of the auto parts stores and there is no charge when it is returned.

The PB conversion would be my recommendation as well.

I believe the rental time for some of the parts houses is 48 hours.
