power brakes

[1969 modified]

I have a 65 chevy with manual drum/drum brakes and a single master cylinder. Anyone have any tips on switching this set-up to a vacuum assist dual master cylinder drum/drum set-up?

Actually I purchased a power booster from one of those aftermarket brake companies like "stainless-steel brakes" or something like that and I was VERY dis-satisfied with it. My truck is a 65 Chevy C-10 (all original) and I would have had to do some drilling / modification to the firewall. It actually would have stuck WAYYY out from the firewall and almost looked like it was not even made for anything like my truck. Not wanting to do anything like that to my original truck and have that booster that looked nothing like what should be there - I returned it. But I too am still looking for a booster that can just bolt up or be adapted easy and still look nice and hug the firewall. Not sure this helps but at least keep this in mind that the aftermarket ones sometimes suck.........ED.

i got the mounting bracket off a 64-66 truck and modified a 67-72 booster to fit.
