Braking system

From what you guys have tried what is the best booster/master combo. I read that an early 80 minitruck booster will work. In that case can i use a V6 master in that combo aswell. Let me know what you have found to be the best combo.

Unless you are starting from scratch not a damn thing wrong with the stock combo. Might consider a bigger bore for a RR disk conversion but otherwise leave it as is.

If you have a 78 cruiser, does that mean that you have a booster/dual master to begin with???

I switched to an 84 Toy Pickup one-ton booster/master combo- and I love it!- but that's because I had a 1969 single reservoir, no booster master cylinder that was crapping out on me. I went from pump-pump-pumping away, to a much safer braking. If your brakes work, then keep them. If you're turing big tires, then maybe add some more umph. But if it aint broke, don't fix it....

78 has dual circuit MC with large tandem booster. Very hard to beat, easy to modify for 4wheel disk.
