parts resource
Hey guys, I got a run down 7 grande sierra K10 and I was wondering what out of it I can swap to my 70 K2500. Recent the brakes went out on the 70, not sure if it was a line or the master, but there is zero pressure at all. So, either A: I was running off only one circuit, or B, the master is gone. Moral of the story is that the stock setup was a manual master, and the 77 has a vac booster and good master. Will the master bolt up and work with the all around drum brakes or should I look at some other way of doing it?
Thanks, Austin |

Re: parts resource
Yes they do. I run power drum/drum on my 70. You can still get new master cylinders at most auto parts stores, and they're not too expensive. So if you wanted to convert yours to disc, it wouldn't break you.

Re: parts resource
Alright, awesome. Now I just need to get the new master and such. Would it be a direct bolt on if I went to O'riellys and bought a power brake master?

Re: parts resource
You can use a manual master cylinder and add the booster, but you will need the pushrod for power brakes. The stock manual lines will also work. Just make sure to bench bleed the master cylinder before you install it.
