Yes, I used an off the shelf unit, master and booster together, from a 1967 Wildcat, which still has the 13" front drums. It was an A-1 Cardone reman, 501104 I think?

I made my own brake lines, but there are parts available for '65-'66 B-body (Impala), I know at least Inline Tube and probably Classic Tube and Classic Industries too, have the lines and a distribution block that are close to a bolt in, you could tweak the lines to fit.
