In the 50s there was a booster mounted on the inner fender on FoMoCo and GM cars that my have been a dealer add on, I can't remember the who made it but it was simple to install and worked very well.

Do some research and you'll find that drum braks stop faster than disks,.Go with hard linning and a bower booster.

I know, I know, I am offloading stuff out of the shop, but I need to get my father-in-law's car "brake worthy" before I leave. Anyone using this?

It seems like a good deal, but I was wondering if anyone on the site is using this current setup in their car. I have a 55 Ford Fairlane - was this a pretty straightforward install? How did the unit hold up?
