power brake swap

Well, I stumbled across a nicely optioned, but badly wrecked 72 F-100 shortbed, which is apparently being parted out. Sooo after grabbing the mirrors, I got to looking and it has power brakes(all drum). So my question is what all do I need to grab to swap my 67s manual brakes to the power. Anything besides the booster and master cylinder? Do I need the hard lines down the the proportioning valve to?


Thanks guys!

If I was you I would put power disk brakes on it.I have done a 70 f100.nd put the front susp and brake booster and master cyl and valve off a 78.And swap it all over to the 70 i had.it all bolts up.

Yeah, if this 72 had disks I'd grab them, but its just power drums, and since I just put new shoes on I'll just stick with the drums for now. I do, however, definitly want to swap the power setup.

So I guess I need the MC\booster\ and proportioning valve?

Thanks!
