Manual vs Power brakes..

[k7elh]

Hey guys,

I recently purchased a 1970 C10 CST and it has manual brakes. I was looking into doing a disc swap for the fronts (I hate replacing drum brakes) and going power.

But I see some people saying they are sticking with manual or switching to manual brakes. My brakes I have to practically stand on to get the truck to stop. Not safe at all. I can't imaging anyone wanting that, so I'm left with wondering if there is something else wrong with my brakes.

What could cause the brakes to be so damned hard? Clogged brake lines?

Thanks for any advice.

Eric
