1986 F-150
I just recently purchased an 86 F-150 at auction and I'm picking it up on Saturday! The truck has a leak in the brake booster (which makes the truck idle rough). I need to drive the truck approx 400 miles. Should I attempt to drive the truck back home? Any advise would be appreciated.
Thank you
Thank you

I think if you disconnect and plug off the line to the booster, you should be fine, the brakes should work fine, but, it will have a really hard pedal, and, it should idle right too.
