I got my brakes done.

All new lines front to rear. I used 2001 Chevy 3500 booster bolted directly to the firewall like the original with a 92 Topkick Master cyl. I had to re-drill the firewall to a smaller 4 bolt circle but it was pretty easy (not real pretty but easy). I made an adapter to lengthen the booster rod.

Bled them and I have crazy stopping power. Four 15" rotors with dual 2.88" pistons calipers at each wheel. I was going to have a proportioning valve going to the rear but decided to try it without one. I having slammed on it yet but so far feels good.
