Re: Power drum brakes

Power drum brakes are definitely an improvement over manual drums, but not as good as power disc/drums. The disc brake conversion really is quite simple and well worth the work IMO.

The easiest way to add power brakes to your drum/drum system is by using a booster and master cylinder combination for a '67-'70 truck. Those can be found at O'Reilly's and likely other parts stores. That booster is one of the compatable boosters for my booster bracket. That will make it a bolt on installation except for the pushrod. There is typically no need for a prop valve with a drum/drum braking system.
