Power brakes

Hey guys,
I am wanting to put power brakes on my truck. It did not come with power brakes from the factory. Is it possible by just slapping a brake booster on there and hooking it up to a vacuum valve on the engine? If it is, what all do i need to buy?

You'll need a booster bracket too.

...And likely tweaking or fabbing up a coupla brake lines.

Yup, there's a bell crank bracket that goes between the booster and the firewall. You'll also need the appropriate brake pedal.
