Booster cyl. upgrade question?
Does anyone know if there is a booster cylinder off a newer truck that bolts on to a '78 F250 that would boost the braking alot?Maybe a duel diafram or something?Thanks---Tom

The booster on my '73 is just as stout as the one on my '83...and much more reliable.

Check the tech paper on upgrading brakes here. They discuss a dual diaphragm unit.
