Power Brakes again
 
After recieving a free 78 F100 with disc brakes but with a standard master cylinder and also having a 72 F250 parts truck with disc and a power brake booster. Would it be possible to use the equalizing valve and the master cylinder from the 72 and the disc from the 78 on a 68 F100 and still be safe. It seems i
t would be a lot easier to plum .Then making bracket and rerouting brake lines. Thanks in advance for any input on this subject again.

probably-- if the pistons in the calipers are the same size, there would be no problem. When matching mastercylinders to calipers, sometimes there is a problem when a larger caliper piston is used. It increases the pressure to the caliper, but at the expense of more travel at the brake pedal. I assume the pistons are the same, but don't know for sure.
