ditching my power brakes........
i have decided i dont like the feel of my power brake set up and want to convert back to manual. the truck is a 65 d200 crew cab. so, i have the remote power assisted set up that bolts under the drivers floor pan. on the fire wall is what appears to be the single throat manual master cylinder like i had on my 66. and up under the truck is a slave cylinder connected to the vaccume booster. so can i just take the feed line directly from that, and plug into the splitter block and be good to go??? or am i making it too simple?? the tubing runs from the firewall master, into the slave, out of the slave and to the splitter block. then of course theres the vaccume line from the engine, and a breather thats hooked in the cab to take out. if anyone is interested in the set up, let me know. it works perfectly, i just dont like the softer feel of the pedal in such a big truck. ill be loosing the power steering pretty soon as well if i cant find a better pump for it. unless one of you fine gentlemen can hook me up with a p/s cap for the old soup can pump.

the shims supposedly help, but my 69 had p/s added and no shims and still worked just fine. my pump works fine, the whole system works fine, but im missing the pump cap and im getting fluid all over the place. i have checked all the stores with the same luck i usually get trying to find swept parts. the pump i have, the filler neck resembles a beer keg in shape, it aint the newer style tapered filler.
