What size brake booster for my 70 Chevy C10 4x4. Im converting the front to disc and leaving the rear drum. Im also running 33” tires on them. Im assuming 12” correct.

I started out with my 71 and 11". Got a deal on a 8" chrome ran it for about year. Went back to the 11". Truck brakes just never felt like they should with the 8".

I go with at least a 11".

Please pardon the intrusion, how exactly do you mean "not feel right"? I have a similar issue weigh my brakes feeling unpredictable with the 8" booster. Sometimes the pedal goes down further than others and I've gone through and/or replaced everything in the system but the booster. I have always thought it was never "right". Been like this about 10 years when I put it on. For the record I have an all drum setup.

Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
