Up grading your breaks

I have a 69 f100 with manual breaks & no power steering, I plan on doing a CV swap on the front and change the back to disc too. What am I needing (master cylinder/power booster) or which systems can be swapped out to work the the CV set up?

Thanks!

This booster (1975 F350 dual diaphragm).

BrakeBest Brakes 54-73112 - Power Brake Booster | O'Reilly Auto Parts

....and this MC (1995 Ford Explorer) work very well together.

Brake Master Cylinder NMC M3246 | NAPA Auto Parts

This is the setup I have on my '69 F100 short bed Ranger with '77 F100 front discs and (currently) with stock '69 rear drums --eventually will be changed to rear discs.



You'll need the booster-to-firewall mounting brackets and the hard plastic boot that goes over the input rod. The booster input rod will connect directly to your '69 brake pedal with no modifications.

So then when you do swap the rear end you'll just go off your distribution block that you have there in the picture

This is a reproduction GM brake valve that's very similar to the '84-'86 F150 OEM disc/drum brake valve on my truck. This reproduction brake valve is designed for use with 4-wheel disc brakes.
