Why do you insist on a booster?

i have a friend running manual brakes, they work, i just think the booster would be better for holdin your rig on certain angles and stuff, wouldn't have to apply as much pedal pressure to keep the brakes holding, he's also doin it cause its in a 47 w/ a 4.3L, so space is limited

Since you are running drums - the 3/4 ton would be fine. I'm using a 3/4 ton w/ 4 wheel disks - but have yet to connect everything. I should be fine.
BTW - that hydroboost article kicked ass!
