I am trying to find out the best way to add power brakes to this truck. It has discs, but no power or vac booster. Can I just add a booster?

you'll need the booster the bracket for the booster the power master cylinder and probably a propotioning valve unless you already have one instead of a distribution block

Yep, hit the junk yard and get EVERYTHING from the pedal to the MC. Make sure the MC donor truck has disks.

to the site. Hit the "Welcome Mat" and intro yourself and your rig. Post some pictures, we like Pictures.

Yeah, if you're just wanting the add the power to your current disc brakes, you just need the power booster (w/mounting bracket) and the hose connecting it to the engine. However, you might want to also grab the hose nipple on the intake manifold, just in case.

I know this isnt my thread, but I was wondering if any of ya guys got a pic of where the hose connects to the engine? Ill be hitting a junk yard this weekend to pick up power brake parts.

not a pic but it behind the carb on the passenger side of the truck to the manifold. should be a tree with several hook ups for vacuum.
