looking to add power drum brakes to my truck. i have done some research but seems like a lot of conflicting information. really looking for the easiest solution

i am assuming its bracket from captainfab but what is the process of getting the correct brake booster?

You will want a booster and master for a '67-'70 truck. Those boosters are on the compatible booster list in post #183 of the for sale thread and also on the list that comes with every booster bracket.

will i need to change the pushrod so it will be the correct length if i use a 67 c10 booster?

You will have to cut the end off of the booster pushrod and trim your original pushrod to length and either weld them together or thread both and use a coupling nut. You could also use a sleeve and pin method to join them.
