Brake Pedal Different for Power Brakes? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am in the midst of redoing the whole braking system on my '77 C10. I thought this may be a good opportunity to upgrade to power brakes. It looks like there are pushrod differences where the master/booster meets with the pedal linkage in the cab. I noticed the manual master has a pushrod that ends in a eyelet where the power master/booster ends in threads. Now I'm wondering of the mounting is different does that mean the pedal ratio needs to be different?

Are there different pedals depending on what brake system you have?
