to put power drum brakes on you just have to get a power cooster from another truck and install it. there are only four bolts and the brake pedal rod to unbolt.
if you want disc brakes check out the disc brake tutorial in the help sections. it is too long to discuss here. i think.

Do you have an F100 or an F250?

The master is also different between drum and disc, plus prop. valve, etc.
Very lengthly.
The article in the tech and tutorial section is very well written.
