converted to power brakes today

Well been putting this off for about 8 years. I've had the parts that long just never the motivation I figure since I will be towing the camper what the heck. It was not to hard the donor parts came from a 79 c20 and in 8 years I only lost the plug for the vac port 6 bucks for a new one. Yes I still need to hook up a line filter but the parts store was out said next truck they get will have a few. I do have front disk brakes so no prop vale change was needed. The only snag I ran into was the rod that attaches to the pedal was only 1/2 and the factory manual brake is 9/16. It was a pain in the but to drill that's some hard steel but time and and a few choice words it fits. I can say now that its done it is a huge difference brakes are way more responsive. The one thing kinda stinks its in the donor truck it attaches with 6 bolts and the holes are there if you wanted to drill them out but I've had my fill of drilling I see no reason why the 4 won't do the job
