1967 Econoline Brakes
Someone i know has a 1967 Ford Econoline Van. It was the first year of the dual master cylinder. This van has 4 wheel drum brkes. He really wants it to stop better. Are there any aftermarket kits that allow one to fit a power booster on this van? What about bigger wheel cylinders? A bigger piston in the master cylinder itself?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Chris

in a word, NO, the master cylinder is different than anything else. as far as wheel cylinders, you might be abel to install bigger bore cylinders, but with out a bigger bore master cyl. it aint gonna work. there must be a problem with the brakes, mine work real good. granted they wont stop on a dime from 100 mph, but they do a good job anyway. there are a couple of disc kits on the market, but a lot of people have had problems with the install.
wish i could be more help. you just have to remember, theses trucks are almost 40 years old and they are always going to be old.
