Re: any easyish upgrades for brakes ?
My 79 GMC wrecker has the same set up and will put you into the windshield if you hit the brakes too hard. Even with a full size truck on the bed. Why do you want to change it? Replace what's bad and save yourself some headaches. I have never had an issue with the brakes. My brother had the truck for 10 years before I had it with no issues. As long as you maintain the system you should never have an issue with it. The 3500 hd master and a 3/4 ton booster was never designed for a truck this size or front drum brakes. Just because it has a dual master does not make it safe if it was not designed to work with the rest of the system. If you are transferring brake systems from one truck to another you should transfer all of it not just part of it.
