no question #1 goal is safety. that's why brakes are one of the first things i'm tackling. but if i can delete the booster and have a safe/functional system i would like to.

my truck was factory a/c big block with manual drum/drum brakes. i would think manual disc/drum would be better (with a correctly designed system). i've read several individuals on this site have had good experiences with this setup, but i'm just not sure the exact parts combinations they had. for example for it to work properly do i need big fancy brakes, which require big fancy wheels (not the route i'm going). hoping for some first hand experience, and i may give it a shot. if i don't like the results i can always add the booster. i appreciate all kinds of feedback.
