So I can use the parts off of a 72-88 chevy 1/2 ton pickup or van? How much better will my truck stop with power disc brakes? If I could just get the back brakes from locking up, I think it would stop pretty good. And if I do this swap, what about wheel alignment, does it stay the same, or tell the shop to align it to the other vehicle's specs?
