Power brakes

I want to convert my 66 3/4 ton to a disc/drum set up and have everything to do it except for the brake booster and new master cylinder. Is there any reason why I can't or shouldn't use the booster and master cylinder set up from a 67-72 truck? Or, does anyone have any suggestions on which set up I should use?

Thanks

If you can bolt it on I don't see why you couldn't use it.

Thats what I was thinking, just didn't know if modifications to the armature would have to be made or not. I've definitely got enough room on my fire wall to bolt it up.

disc brakes

I think you will need the master cylinder and the prop valve from the disc setup as the disc calipers require more fluid volume and pressure. Here is a FAQ thread on it.
