tractor pull headers/brake fluid reservoir problem

I just got my tractor pull headers today and went to put them on today and this is the first problem I encountered. The previous owner put power brakes on this pickup so the brake fluid reservoir is right in the way...i disconnected it and now it will fit. My question is what am i gonna do about my brakes? I want the headers (i want to go faster more than i want to stop!

) but i still need some type of brakes...any input at all would be helpful.

Thats really not too difficult, just by a manual brake master cylinder for your year and model of truck, and make sure you get the rod to the pedal, and replace the current master cyl, and booster with it, and rebleed your brakes. everything should just bolt up since you said it had been converted to power brakes before.
