Better brakes?

So anyway of makeing these trucks brake better like bigger vacume booster, master cylinder, or even pads and rotors. All my 70s ford 150s had poor breaks they will lock up but take allot of pressure just to slow down. Thanks,Matt.

Check on the tech articles in this forum. There is an upgrade to a 1 ton brake system that works well.

I posted this in the 65 - 66 forum but have received no replies. I guess it has not been done on these trucks. My uncle is gonna give it a shot though. This is the link and what I have come up with so far. According to the video in the link you can use the existing power steering pump you currently have.
