My truck is a 1970 with 4-wheel drum brakes, non power. What is needed to convert to power? Booster, rod, brackets, MC. What else? Do I need to swap prop valves? Pedal? Is a drum booster different than a disc booster? And what do I need to look for to get the smaller diameter booster I've seen on some pickups?

I also found a 89 chevy van. Can anything be used from this to convert to disc?
