better brakes

i recently bought a 79 bronco, its a very nice truck except the brakes leave a lot to be desired. Every thing is new at both ends of the truck. Are there any brake mods that i can do to help performance. And i am very mecanicly inclined so major work isn,t a problem. thanks mudder trucker.

Dont you hate it when know one answers? In the tech articles there are some tips for 78/79 bronco brake conversions. It is in there somewhere. It involves a f350 brake booster, full size 70s ford car disc brakes and something with the back I think discs. Take a look at it.
