Re: Manual to Power brakes question
I suspect you'll need to fabricate or buy the lines that connect to the MC, because it will be moved farther forward by several inches.
So, the brake pedal setup is different? I guess the power version must have less mechanical leverage.
BTW, my 82 C10 has manual brakes and I am very pleased (almost shocked) at how well they work. Of course it's a relatively light, short wheelbase truck, and I've never hauled anything heavier than a few hundred pounds.
