I'll get a closer look at the brackets.
I have a few questions.Ive never had a vehicle that had pwr drum brakes. The last time I drove it was the 1st time I got to drive any distance and the brake pedal seemed hard to push. I assume the pedal would still be a little harder to push vs a conventional disk/drum system but how much harder? I'm gonna start it and pull the vac hose to check for vacuum when I get home today to make sure the booster working right.
Last night I was check the net for info on my setup and found this link with great info & pics of 67-72 brake boosters:

According to the 1st pic,I think I have a 3/4 ton booster as that's the only one where the front mc line goes to the rear of the prop valve and the booster looks the same. The 1/2 setups keep that line in the front. Later on (maybe up to a yr) I want to put disk brakes in the front. In the link above he shows that there are differences in a disk vs drum mc. My question is, if I need a booster, I'm putting a mc cyl on as well, I assume I should go ahead and install the disk mc now, or would it cause any issues (I can't believe it would).
Also, should I put another 3/4 ton booster on or get a 1/2 ton setup? Is the 3/4 ton overkill?
