power to manual brakes

[Grande Rojo]

Any of you guys ever done this?
Power to manual brakes? I Assume I will need new master and pushrod for a manual system. Is this bolt on with proper parts. Its for a 86 cab 1/2 ton disk/drum
Thanks for any input...

I would like to know also, had a 76 that had disc drum and it had manual brakes.

at the risk of sounding ignorant.............how come?
vacum issue with a cam?

Boatpuller, yes no vacuum. Plus I had to raise the motor mounts to clear the Hamburger oilpan and I have taller valve covers to clear the roller rockers. That puts the valve cover 3/4" from the booster. So, with all that combined plus no vacuum I thought I would just switch. I could use hydroboost or a vacuum pump but I want less under the hood.

Sorry for the clutter. Your thread is back on topic.

Thanks for cleaning this up Ken. And thanks for the info on the CCP master.
Looks like a swap won't be that hard after all. Just need to find a manual brake rod from the master to pedal arm.
