: Power Drum Brakes?

I have 4 wheel drums, with no brake booster on my 72 . I was wondering if it is possible to install a brake booster with my current master cylinder, and still keep the same brake lines and drums. Basically i want "Power" Drum brakes, becuase I'm tired of getting a cramp in my right leg when i want to stop the thing. Any insight or suggestions would be greatly appreciated......

Thanks,
John

I'm doing the same on my 67 right now. Got a complete booster/MC from Master Power Brakes MPBrakes (http://www.mpbrakes.com) for only $125.00. Obviously not OEM, but hard to beat the $. You do need to replace the lines from the MC to the junction block or proportioning valve since the MC is much further into the engine compartment. I just replaced all the front lines with SS. Hope this helps
