Re: New Brakes, It would be nice if they worked, 67 GMC
Glad it worked out for you. I have found aftermarket kits to be hit or miss. Boosters can be too small, M/C bore the wrong size, and a generic one-size-fits-all proportioning valve that assumes your truck has the same weight distribution as a Nova.
My 69 C10 has a factory stock M/C, booster, and prop valve from a 71-72 truck, along with spindles, disc brakes, and steering linkage from a mid-80s truck. (Center link and tie rod ends are larger diameter than stock 67-69 C10.) It has been working very well since 1995. In fact it almost works too well, and I may some day drill a lower hole on the pedal to make it a little less touchy.
