? about brakes
can i put a 73+ master cylinder/prop. valve on an aftermarket booster made for 67-72 trucks (basically a conversion booster)??????
or do i have to use 72 master/valve? i'm only curious because the front disc brakes are the same from '72-'78 (then '78+ as long as they are 1+1/4" Rotors) so i can't see why a 73+ master/valve wouldn't work (at least ECE "dosen't recommend doing it") and if i have to use the '72 master could i use a 73+ prop.??? cause i really don't feel like spending another $100 for a master+prop.valve for this thing and i have a '73 prop. valve i just don't understand why they wouldn't recommend it if the brakes fit 72-78 trucks?

I have 75 brakes on my 69, but cant say about the booster(manual disc). I wouldnt mix the parts tho, if you go 73up on the brakes, you would be best to use all the pcs, master/prop valve & all.....I know that works you can probably adapt the later booster also, but you will need to check/ adjust the lenght of the brake rod to the peddle, as the depth from firewall to peddle is bound to be different on the different yr trucks. Best of luck,crazyL
