BROTHERS' Power Brake Conversion is manufactured to work with drum/drum, disc/drum, or four-wheel disc applications; to keep things simple, we choose the first option, as the power assist would be enough in itself to bring the Stepside to a quick and safe halt. The cool thing about the kit is that it's designed to bolt right onto the truck's framerail with the only modification being the relocation of the emergency brake cable bracket, plus having to drill a couple holes. A minor bit of brake line bending and rerouting also comes into play, but the benefit the kit affords, it's a piece of cake.
NOTE:This installation was performed on a '55-'59 truck. The installation for trucks '47-'54 is the same. |
