Re: power brakes upgrade for a 74 1/2 ton

pretty easy upgrade... but you need the booster (duh), brackets, and preferrably a new master cylinder for power brakes. When I did mine I got the pedal and rod asembly out of the same donor truck to make everything work. If you dont you will have to adjust or replace (cant remember) the rod because the manual brake rods and power brake rods are different sizes... someone on here will know for sure...
