Re: Drum Brake Booster under frame set up
stock tf and ad 16 wheels will not clear a lot of calipers. I had a 59 steel wheel that fit the back drum fine, rubbed on the front caliper (74 front 4wd axle). 16" steel wheels from 72 on will work, but not with stock TF hub caps. I used 68-72 dog dish caps, look old enough that most will not know they are not 59. You will need to replace the stock MC, I would find one with separate front and back reseviours. You will need a proportioning valve too. I'd replace the lines and hoses too, since they are 55+ years old.
