Disc Brake Conversions
There is always a lot of conversation on how to split the brake lines, add a proportioning valve, and wire the brake light switch.
Surfing the web today looking for some brake options on one of my 65 Mustangs I ran across this page from CJ Pony Parts.
This solves a lot of problems for under $150.

Class Performance offers a MC with the proportioning valve built in for $199. You will spend close that with separate parts. MCPV-1 has:
a delay valve to have the rears engage first
percentage of pressure to the rear
max pressure to rear wheels
output ports so you can use a separate line to each wheel
a 1/4npt port for a brake like switch
all fully adjustable so you can dial in the balance
.
I just added a dual MC for drum/drum. If am not happy with the new system, I will go with the MCPV-1 and disk.

I usually just take everything from the donor truck.

Here is a picture of what $200 buys, another $95 gets you a booster.
