Lar, If you plan to modify, I would suggest investigating a dual circuit.

Jeeps
Back in the 70's a few of the club members had fitted those PBR vacuum brake boosters on their WW2 Jeeps. I did the same mod. and the brakes on my Jeep improved by 100% .
One club member reckoned the extra pressure would blow out the wheel cylinders but that never occurred in all the years we were driving Jeeps around.

Brake Adjustment Remains Key
Hi All
One thing I don't feel can be over emphasized on CMP is keeping the brakes adjusted. Even for those of us who have been driving and working on these trucks for years, keeping the brakes adjusted is the key to brake performance. In this day when automatically adjusting brakes are the norm, we get accustomed to never touching the adjustment or even thinking about need for adjustment. But with trucks with only manual adjustment, reading the manual and putting the truck up on jack stands and adjusting buy the book takes on a new importance. On topic of dual circuit brakes yes it would be nice. But dual or single circuit system one suggestion from a long time CCKW driver (in our MV club) is make it a habit that everytime you start the truck is while you let it warm up, STAND ON THE BRAKE PEDDLE JUST AS HARD AS YOU CAN his logic is it far better to have the peddle go to the floor then. Cheers Phil
