1969 F100 adding power brakes
Thinking of adding power to my current brake setup. Currently manual drums on all 4 corners. Converting to disc will be way too difficult and frankly, not needed. Won’t be towing, won’t be racing. But I would like it to stop easier. What would I need to add/change? Is it as simple as adding the booster between the MC & the pedal? I have a port on my intake manifold where I can remove a plug and add in a vacuum fitting.
1969 F100 4x4. Built with a 360, but MAY currently contain a 427.

Re: 1969 F100 adding power brakes
I did the exact same thing on my 69 F250, 4-corner drums. I bought a new booster and master COMBO, which I highly recommend to ensure compatibility between the two. I added a vacuum port on the intake, bled the system, and what a world of difference. You won’t be disappointed.
