Sandman, What are you going to do with the truck? Is it for show or a driver? I ask this because I was ask the same question a few years ago when I was considering making the change to power brakes on my '64. I was with a group of "ole shadetree mechanics" disucssing old pickups when I was ask, "Have you had trouble stopping you truck now?" To which I answered, NO. Then i was ask, "The brakes on the truck have been stopping the truck for 38 years, why change now?" Well, I chose not to spend the money for the upgrade and the oldtimer was right. My ole'64 has been stopping for 42 years now without a problem.

But, to each his own...If you wish to spend the money, do so.
