Re: power brakes on a 71
Powerbrakes came as an option for '71 so you should be able to just order the 71 booster, master cyl. and push rod. The standard push rod won't work cause it's not the right lenght.
You could also find a '71 donor vehicle like I did or by aftermarket from places like LMC.

Re: power brakes on a 71
You'll need the bracket for the Power booster.I don't know about interchanges but the easiest way is to buy a PB kit or find a donor.
BTW guys the only reason to buy from LMC is if they are the only ones carrying the part.Most times the BB vendors will beat their pricing by quite a bit and usually you can find one near enough to pick up the part(s) and save shipping.
