82 C10 manual to power brake conversion

Is the underdash linkage the same for manual and power brakes on an 82 C10?

The linkage was the same on the 69 C10 I converted to power, but it was totally different on my 55 Chevy sedan. (Less pedal travel and leverage with power brakes linkage.)

And while I'm at it, which kits (or pieces and parts) do you guys recommend? My truck already has a proportioning valve mounted to the frame.
