BRAKES?

im trying to figure out which way I want to go I have brake pedal from a ranger that I think would work booster and all or I have the setup from the 95 f150 I got. or I was thinking on just buying one of these kits
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1948-1949-1950-1951-1952-FORD-TRUCK-BRAKE-PEDAL-BOOSTER-MASTER-DISC-DISC-VALVE/301017906756?_trksid=p2047675.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222002%26algo%3DSIC.FIT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D11%26meid%3D2757224965363315139%26pid%3D100011%26prg%3D1005%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D5%26sd%3D301003306496%26as of right now there is nothing
was wandering what the pros and cons of the kit would be im thinking on gong disc /disc but not 100% on that yet I do plan on pulling a trailer with this truck so that's a factor too

I used this set-up:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1953-1956-Ford-truck-Firewall-Brake-Booster-and-Master-Cylinder-pedal-Kit-/400323143049?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5d351e6589
This my install: It mounts on the rib on the firewall so the booster is not over the engine. The PO had it right above the valve cover.

You should take a look at the on-line catalog for Engineered Components. They have a firewall mounted package as well.
