Big Brake upgrade
I'm wanting to do the big brake upgrade to go with the 4.3 that I am about to transplant into my truck. I have read several post and seen so many ways of doing it, but every post has used different parts and items. Does anyone have a list or know exactly what is needed for me to do this swap?
I just got promoted to manage at O'Reilly's auto parts and get a great discount. A 140$ steering wheel for you, would only cost me about 80$. I pay 10% over cost, just to cover shipping.

x2 on the big brake booster, I have one with the 1" bore master cylinder to install that I need to install. T-100's also use the dual diaprahm booster...
linky
other parts that I did for upfront:
V-6 Calipers, vented LC rotors
As far as safety and driveability it is one of the best upgrades I have done on my truck...it stops every well now, much better than the old single piston stock POS calipers. No noticeable brake fade coming down a long trail or down hill grade like I had before.

Beautiful, thank you. Any idea on those front calipers and rotors for the upgrade as well? I'll do a price check on the turbo booster today at work and add it to my charge account.

I just did the V-6 Rotors and Vented Rotors that are listed on Trail-Gears site (got'em local though)
On the brake booster, make sure it is the dual diaprahm, it is thicker than the stock 86+ booster. some places list the same part number for both turbo and non turbo trucks. part # at napa: both 2 and 4 wheel 532460
