Brake booster addition
Right now I only have manual brakes and I'm thinking about adding a booster but not too sure about how to go about getting that done. Right now It's disks/drums so the prop valve is good and so is the m/c. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Troy

you can just unbolt the master cylinder pull it forward and bolt the booster on the then the master on. you will have to bend the lines alittle but they work. and you need a rod that goes in between the pedal and the booster.

And you'll have to get the bracket as that won't come with a new booster. If you get one off a donor make sure you get it then.

And you might as well get a booster from a 3/4 ton. I have heard that they make the brakes a whole lot better.

Troy, if you do a search on this board under "booster" and my name, you'll find plenty of details and pictures of the installation.
