I'm in essence doing a restore/mod deal here, anyone know options for a different cylinder or a hydroboost setup? Seems brakes are one of my weaknesses so any input is appreciated.

Why can't we just go back to the designs from when cars were unique and didn't all look the same?

The clutch uses a separate rod than the brakes. You just need to make sure it doesn't leak if/when you remove the clutch pedal assembly. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 698 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 698 | "I'm in essence doing a restore/mod deal here,"
Are you wanting to keep the brakes stock or up grade to power disc?

From what I've seen the drums will work just fine, was curious about brake boosters since I have heard they make a noticable difference. As i plan to make the truck my D.D and pull the occasional boat/trailer etc.
