My 72 C 10 project

I recently purchased a 72 C-10 Cheyenne Super. It has a 28k crate motor (LM-1 350) with a 128k body with an automatic. Very little rust for what my dad and I have seen and looked at. We are doing this as a project together. It will be my daily driver. I will be posting some pics later. Its a St. Louis built truck. This weekend we are replacing a bad fuel pump, thermostat, belts, and checking for a possible bad booster or master cylinder. It has brakes but feels like the booster is bad. It has a edelbrock carb which is ok but my dad is a Buick guy and loves the Q-jet. So its going away. Looking at exhaust options at this point because its glass packs with dumps underneath the bed and the highway drone is awful. It has stock manifolds and we are thinking of just a good duel with stock manifolds. Maybe a local exhaust place or a kit. We have been shopping the forum vendors for a booster, master cylinder combo with the proportioning valve. All input is welcome and greatly appreciated.
