Re: Manual vs Power brakes..
These trucks came with safe brakes. They are old now. The expensive fancy expensive modern brakes they sell today will need attention due to poor braking one day. It's people that make properly functioning brakes unsafe.
Many like manual brakes on hi-performance vehicles to not be robbing vacuum. my neighbor built a hot rod '68 short bed with ZZ3/Muncie 4spd/3.42s and put manual discs on front. The truck stops safe. Power brakes only decrease effort, not increase braking. The actual brake components at the wheel are the same.
