    I just installed a power brake booster on my '64 C-10 that I purchased from CPP. Right now I could not go the expense of converting to disc, but I did put in everything new of the drum brakes. Master cylinder, wheel cylinders, etc. The booster is for a drum/drum application with the stock single master cylinder. I was delighted at the ease of the installation. It took maybe a total time of 25-30 minutes and I had power brakes. I had to have a neighbor do the underdash hook-up to the pedal arm, (a smaller body) but other than that, it was a breeze.
    Just wanted to share this with you all.

    Do you have a manual trans or auto? I'd like to do the same thing to mine but I have a manual trans, I guess I'll have to rig up a resevior for the clutch fluid. Jeremy

    I have an automatic transmission. I'm not sure what you would do with a manual. If you do not have a Classic Performance catalog, you can go to their website: www.classicperform.com, and order one or shop online. You can also call and talk to a tech.
    Lots of luck.
