how to convert to power brakes
I have a 68 shortbed and would like to convert to power brakes. I would like to know what all I need to do this. It already has discs up front. I`ve heard that you can`t just put on a booster, that there`s other stuff to do also. Any help would be great.

Re: how to convert to power brakes
booster, booster mounting brackets, and pedal pushrod. If you are careful, the lines don't even need replaced.
Some will tell you that the master cylinder isn't the same... but it is on the trucks |

Re: how to convert to power brakes
if they need it anyways, then that's a good plan.

Proportioning valve(mounted to the MC).The one on a drum t4uck is a distribution block but the disc fronts used a proportioning valve.
