power brakes

I want to put power brakes on my 68 C-10 and I'm not sure about the set up. I have 4 wheel drum brakes and I don't want disc on front. Everything I've seen was drum/disc power brake master cylinder. Will the drum/disc master cylinder work on ALL drum or will I have to go with something else? What about the proportion valve; stay the same or change? And, if so, what else would I go with? Can anyone give me a source for a power brake set up for our type trucks? Thanks!

Re: power brakes

I have a drum/drum power brake set up I am taking off now. I will send it to you for the cost of shipping if you want it. Original booster, new mc, combo valve, and mounting brackets.

You wouldn't happen to have any BBC's laying around for the same deal, would you?

If you have an 8 cylinder you will be alright with an 11" booster but if it is a 6 cylinder it will hit the air cleaner. My experience anyway. Have a good one.

Thumbs up Re: power brakes

Buy a booster and put it on everything else will work with it. Nothing to add are take off.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
