Power Brake Setups? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Have drum brakes on the front and rear of my 64 Chevy 1/2 ton.
I want to purchase a power booster brake set up, but just as soon buy the disc / drum master cylinder/ booster setup, in case I decide to upgrade to front disc brakes.... if this setup will work on my all drum brake truck. I talked to the folks at Brothers.com, and they say their disc / drum booster will work. All I have to do is remove the proportional valve. Otherwise they say that the disc / drum setup has a bigger reservoir than their drum / drum booster setup.
Does anyone know if I'm going to have any problems, ie., stopping, if I use a disc / drum setup, on my drum / drum truck?
Thanks, Tom
