Half ton power drum brakes?
Hiya! My 1967 has the factory all-wheel drum set up (and manual of course). I was just wondering, could I add a power booster from a power disc brake truck and stick it behind the master cylinder of a drum brake truck?
I know you're probably thinking, why would you do something like that? Just go disc brakes! Well, I'm not ready for the entire swap yet ($$$!) but I have a booster lying around along with the correct bracket. Just curious, I might go through with it if you folks think it'll work.

Re: Half ton power drum brakes?
do it..you won't even need disc brakes then,,
it's a direct fit. you just need the rod from the pedal and the booster..your master will bolt right on  and a vacuum line ran to the intake

Re: Half ton power drum brakes?
I ran a disc booster with front drums on my 68. It worked great sometimes. The booster had a diaphragm leak, so I had some issues, but it was due to faulty parts.
