Those of you that have completed this conversion, was it worth doing? Would you do the change again? Anything you would have done different?
I am kicking the idea of doing it on my '92 since I'm going to need to completely rebuild the brake system anyway.
There was a post on another forum where he used a Chevy unit spaced out to accommodate the longer push rod that seemed pretty straight forward in the change over.
Thanks
Jeff

I would absolutely do it again. I run 23000lbs gross and its the only way I can get the truck to stop as fast as it accelerates!
