Hi and greetings from Gig Harbor neighbor!

Yup it makes a difference.

I believe you will also need to get a power brake proportioning valve.

My truck was converted when I bought it. Only complaint I have is the fit to the firewall needs some attention.

Good luck,
Lee

You'll be happy with the booster installed. The proportioning valve only needs to be changed if your swapping a disk conversion on. Power drums dosen't need a different one.
