It's not that bad. You will need to get some adaptors for the brake lines though.
I assume you already have 8 lug axles with the bigger calipers is why you are doing it. If not then you are only covering up another problem that needs to be addressed.

i thought about this same swap. with alittle more work you can add hydrobooser from a ford / chevy / dodge and get 3Xs' the breaking force. I seen complete bolt in kits but they run $350 and up. you can get almost all of the parts and a sagnaw pump from a junk yard for under $60...mike
(i still gathering the parts for mine so i not installed it yet. i hope to install the pump in the next few weeks if money and time and the heat breaks...been 110 plus for a week now.)...mike

I'm running an F350 booster and 78 Marquis master cylinder on my 90 Ranger cab truck. I had to space the booster off the fire wall about 2.5" with some threaded adapters because it was too big and hit the steering shaft and wiper motor.
