I read an article here where a fella manufactured a power brake set up for his 51 truck. It gave me an idea how I could maybe work and design like his into my Econotruck that I plan to customise. That way I can put disc brakes on it with a power brake booster.
The guys user nameis 51dueller that did the article. Check the opening page and search for articles. You may find it there.

Easy

Use a remote Power Master Cylinder, Actuated by the original Master Cylinder. Contact any of the Street Rod Brake Companies, ie ECI, Master Power Brakes inc, etc.....Look in any Street Rod Magazine.

You can also check out Cardomain.com/ride/733977. It is a beautiful Econoline with disc all the way around. Good luck...
