I read an article here where a fella manufactured a power brake set up for his 51 truck. It gave me an idea how I could maybe work and design like his into my Econotruck that I plan to customise. That way I can put disc brakes on it with a power brake booster.
The guys user nameis 51dueller that did the article. Check the opening page and search for articles. You may find it there.

Easy

Use a remote Power Master Cylinder, Actuated by the original Master Cylinder. Contact any of the Street Rod Brake Companies, ie ECI, Master Power Brakes inc, etc.....Look in any Street Rod Magazine.
