power brakes

are there any aftermarket kits? I haven't seen any.
or should I go junkyarding to convert to power assist brakes?

Junkyarding is your best bet for factory parts.

With that option you could either go the vacuum powerd route or the hydroboost option.

Use the search function for the cool and powerfull Hydroboost option.

Make sure you get the peddle assembly, rod, booster, master cylinder and proportioning valve all from the same truck.

thanks folks.
Hydroboost conversions I've done on large towing trucks, I don't think I need that stopping power as I won't be hauling anything but a$$ in this truck.

I'll snoop around at the junkyards.

Thanks
Drew
