Power Brake Boost question

I have a 1967 F-100, I have done a crown vic swap on the front end and an explorer rear end swap, so I have disc brakes on all fours. Can I use the original power brake booster and master cylinder or does it need to be a different one? Pardon my ignorance but I am new to this.

you can likely use the same booster, but i think the master is out of the question... drum brakes use a lot smaller volume of brake fluid to expand than discs do and i think i'd at least want an adjustable proportioning valve so you don't have too much rear brakes.

might want to look for a booster for an explorer or crown vic when they had rear discs... i know wilwood makes masters for front and rear discs but it's gonna be over 400

You can use the factory booster, just get a CV or Explorer MC that is for 4 wheel disc. We are running Wilwood MC's on both of our trucks, but they are more money.
