'66 3/4ton add power brakes...

[sandman]

I have picked up a '66 3/4 ton truck. It has manual brakes with single master cylinder brakes and a Dana or Dana/Corporate rear axle.

My question is looking for an relatively easy way to fix the brakes. I have a couple different directions I could possilby go. So I need

I don't think that the conversions to disk brakes are the right way to go, for me, as the aftermarket kits appear to be all 1/2 ton. I assume that a donor 3/4 ton in the 1973s - 1987 range would provide the parts I need, however, my wife of 42 years would probably not make it to 43 if I had any more vehicles laying around the yard.

Therefore, I had in mind ordering a drum/drum master cylinder and power booster for a 3/4 ton in the 73-87 range and doing a bit of replumbing. That should give me power drum brakes and a dual master cylinder for safety. I have lost the master out of a single brake system a couple of times before and have no interest in repeating that action.

Am I basically on the right track? Does anyone have any part numbers or awareness of potential snags?

Thanks in advance........
