More Brake Questions

[one9six9]

Okay, I have been reading this forum, but don't have quite all the answers I am looking for.
I have a 69 with manual drum/drum brakes. I have aquired a crossmember and rearend out of 72 so I can do the disc/drum conversion. My questions are as follows:

1. Can I use any booster and master cyclinder from 67-72 as long as I use the correct proportional valve?
2. I will need to replace the front brakelines from the master cylinder to the front calipers and to the front to rear line. Can I use any 67-72 brake lines or do I need to use 71-72 brakelines. Is there a difference?
3. Am I better off just replacing all brakelines, or can I use the brakeline on the rear axle.
4. I read on another post something about the lever being the correct lenght for the brake booster. How do I know what length I need?

I'm sure there are other questions, but I can't think of them now.

Hi Keith,

Here is what I did. I own a 70'gmc LWB. I used a 71 Chevy 1/2 ton master cylinder, booster and por. valve. Works fine with no problems. Check your lines and replace if need be or replace them if you feel better about having new lines. As far as the pedal lever goes I used the one outof my 70.' I hope this helps ....

esll.
