Talking Parts needed to convert to power brakes

OK, I am man enough to admit I was wrong!

I want to add power brakes to my 1980 stepside... Now that the 6 banger is replaced with a 350 HO, I definitely have more "go", so I need more "stop"...

Plus, now that the stiff old clutch is gone and replaced with 700R4, I definitely notice how much pedal effort is required to stop it...

So what parts do I need?

Booster
New master cylinder
Brake rod?
Proportioning valve?

The motor should be producing plenty of vacuum, not too worried about that. I want a simple, no muss no fuss install. Not trying for the cheapest, I want it to work good and be a hassle free fit and installation.

Any suggestions on parts?

Me and my right leg thank you!
