Power brakes 1-10
 
On a scale of 1 to 10 how hard is it to up- grade to power brakes. I am new at this stuff, but i think i am ok with tools.

What do you guys think?

I am in the middle of converting my 68 from disc/drum non power to disc/disc power, Just rcvd the mc and booster yesterday. Hardest part is bending and flaring new lines.

I put a booster on my drum/drum setup. It wasn't hard, but it was a little aggrivating adjusting everything out. Especially that cursed brake light switch! But it wasn't what I would call hard.

I used a booster out of a 69? 3/4 ton. Got booster, m/c, and pedal assy. I used the booster and rod from the donor with my pedal assembly. I just had to bend my brake lines a little to reach the m/c. I used my proportioning valve cuz it was in better shape than the donor. I ran a piece of 1/2" tubing to within 3" of booster then a short piece otf vacuum line to finish it off.

PM me if you have any questions.
