The best way to do it is to find your year and model power brake set up though. It's awful easy to swap over to disc at the same time though! | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 248 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 248 | There are probably hundreds of posts on this site about how to swap to just about any kind of brake system you want...power or otherwise. Use the search feature and you should have plenty of reading material to keep you busy for a while. My '63 is about to get power front discs and self adjusting rear drums off a '79.
My truck stops ok, but all four corners have non self adjusting drums, and I'm tired of the brake adjustment routine...and I also want the 5 bolt pattern that comes with the new setup so that I can put some old school Cragar S/S rims on. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 613 Member | | Member Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 613 | you can use a 1973 booster.it will bolt to your firewall.i had to extend the pedal push rod and drill another hole in the pedal.the 63 master cylinder should bolt to the booster.you may have to adjust the rod between the booster and mc.the early type booster is almost impossible to find in working condition. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 | I'd sure encourage you to go dual master at the same time.
With a forty plus year old truck and I assume aged brake lines, you'd sure be better off (safer) with new lines and a dual master.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | |
