Power disc brake conversion done.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I did the disc brake conversion a couple of years ago but never added the booster. I finally got all the stuff I needed and threw it together. It really stops well. The pedal is a little short but I like it.

I took this picture with my camera so it's not super great.

looks good you gonna swap over to a disk brake proportioning valve or just run the 50/50 one? I did mine and now I just have to redo my rear shoes and wheel cylinders.

I may do it at some point but it seems to work pretty good the way it is.

I sure did. I still need to paint the master cylinder though.
