1970 C50 Brakes

[bts2]

Hi all,

new to the forum - I've got a 1970 Chevy C50 dump that I acquired with some property. It's been sitting for a while and I am going through it to get it running and stopping. Engine is almost there - still going through carb and sticky valves - bad old gas.

Now I am over to the brakes - I have none - pedal to the floor. Booster falling apart. Before I start getting into some bucks for obscure parts, I read in another thread to consider replacing the single MC and remote booster with a standard firewall mounted dual circuit MC/Booster.

Is this a good idea? any pointers on years and parts from donors? How do I ensure I maintain the load capacity of the truck (with the DMV?)

Thanks for your help,

BT
