original brakes
I don't mean to beat a dead horse but if I did decide to go back with an orginal single master cylinder and booster, do you know of any other differences between my truck(no power) and a truck orginally equipped. Would it simply be a matter of bolting it on or are there other parts that I would have to change out?

I called MP Brakes in N.C. (www.mpbrakes.com) and they do have firewall mounted boosters with *new* dual circuit master cylinders for $295. Autokrafters also sells them for about the same price.
You would have to do a little plumbing to split the front and the rear circuits but it's much safer to eliminate the old single-circuit system. I'm saving up - will post when I get one...

My front drums only have one piston per wheel cylinder. The brake shoes have notches on both the primary and secondary shoe.
Can I remove the old single-ended wheel cylinders and install double-ended? It looks like they should bolt up and there is plenty of room...
