Wow thanks guys, yep I also began to wonder about the booster. I called the vendor back and he said it was a heavy duty unit and he thinks that's why it so quick to stop. I did drive it around today and began to learn the new method in using the brakes. I like the drum set up and will keep that. I just upgraded to a booster setup cause the old master cylinder finally gave up after 47 years... Lol anyway enjoying it back out on the road. Going to take it up Friday to a really small gathering car show close to my house. I'm working on installing the ac system in the truck when I'm able. Been a really fun adventure and just really have enjoyed owning such a cool piece of history.
