Power drum brakes???

[kurts704]

I have a 67 C10 4x4 stepside. It has manual drum brakes. I'd like to upgrade to discs but don't have the cash right now. Can I run a power booster to the drums for a little help stopping? This thing doesn't like to slow down!

my 67 2WD has power brakes on drums.

best $$ you can spend on your truck...trust me !! it takes about an hour and a used one from the board will run you about $60 with the brackets and all ........it up graded my old drums so much that now I'm in no rush to do my disc/drop swap

I upgraded my White '67 and I didn't even have to unhook the brake lines... Nice improvement.

Ditto. Best upgrade I have made. Make sure when you get it that it has all of the brackets and linkages - makes it a simple hour swap, as LockDoc said.

Just go easy bending the steel lines to the MC and it will be easy.

TIP - unbolt the MC before trying to remove the linkage bolt from the brake pedal - it will drop it down so it will clear the steering column, otherwise, you will have to drop the column.

Here is the link I used - made it simple.

Thanks for the info guys, and that's what I'll do, just add a power booster. I'm new to the site, how do I find the parts for sale? Thanks
