Its not too bad in my truck, but is a noticeable difference from newer models, for one it takes more leg muscle to stop!

I have a '73 thats Front disk/rear drum, without Power assist. Little harder to stop than my 2000 but not horrible

well i know it has nothing to do with the front brakes, but bronco graveyard sells a conversion kit for the rear to disk, would that make anything of a difference being the front brakes are your primary?
