Help with installation of underseat power brakes and new lines - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Folks,
I am installing a new master cylinder, brake booster, with remote resevoir in my 55 (2nd gen) and need some help. I have disc brakes on the front and drums on the rear. I have all the items I need (to include proportioning valve, bracke/pedal assym). Now what I need is a diagram or some instructions so I don't do this incorrectly. I am using 3/16 line with AN type connections. Any help is appreciated.

Here is what I did. The line to the disc and line to the drums are different sizes, drums larger. Drums take more fluid to move than the discs. Also I changed the coils out of the MC 90 degrees so they are horizontal, I could not get the air out of them placed vertically in the pictures. I made my own brackets.
