Hello all,

Building a street rod rat rod whatever you wana call it.. Need opinions on power brakes, are they needed?? 1950 Ford F1, Front is converted to disc, rear will remain stock for now with new wheel cylinders of course.

Will I have good pedal with a manual type master or should I do the extra work time and money for the booster? A manual would be very easy to fab in, this will be mounted under the floor either direction I go and I'm worried about clearance with a booster.

I may occasionally tow a 20ft boat.

What are you experiences with manual brakes? Last truck I had a 74 4x4 had manual drums, I didn't think it was to bad.

Vacuum should not be an issue if I do go the booster route. This is FE powered just in case you were worried!
