Have since gone a full crossmember swap from a squarebody to get front discs.
So I went to the local boneyard today and picked up a used brake booster from a 71 C10, I'll get that thing installed and see how it goes.

I'm still planning on doing a disc swap in the front, but until then, I'll go with this. I'll let you all know how it goes.

Thanks...
