How hard is it to convert my 76 stepside to manual brakes and what would I need to acomplish this? This truck has had poor brake performance ever since I have owned it. So far I have replaced the brake fluid, master cylinder, both callipers and lines, pads, wheel cylinders, shoes, and drums. I have driven other 73-87 trucks and the brakes were so much better than mine are. This truck is pro street with skinnies up front and 29x18.5x15 rear tires. On the rearend, from the centersection out is all Dana 60 components. Is this contributing to my braking problems? The engine does not produce much vaccum at idle, but I do have a vaccum resivoir. I am thinking that going to manual brakes is the only option I have now. Any other suggestions or ideas? Thanks in advance...
