Re: Steering / Brake Help Please
To convert to power brakes, all you need is to find a donor truck with a power brake booster setup. Get all of the parts from the pedal linkage (rod that bolts to the pedal) through the booster. It is a direct bolt on. I did mine in about an hour. Even the stock lines are long enough, just bend them slowly and evenly.
There was a step by step tutorial on here somewhere.
Best mod I have done. I did a full brake job, but it still took a lot of effort (been a long time since I had a rig with manual brakes, so I couldn't remember how much effort was normal). Before I definitely had to plan ahead when coming to a stop. Now it is just like all of the cars you are used to driving with power brakes.
