I assume you are coming through the floor with the new brake pedal?

Hey, Wayne

I don't know the procedure, since I bought my truck this way, but I've 
got 11-inch front disc brakes (taken from an '82 Monte Carlo) combined 
with my Mustang II IFS.  They aren't power brakes, and the truck stops 
just fine ... ESPECIALLY since I cut about 3-inches off the brake 
pedal!  The original height of the brake pedal really made it a lot 
harder to brake ... I put a new round Gennie pedal on, cut 3-inches off 
the shaft, and wow - what a difference!  Braking was much, much easier 
after that.
