So it is finally time to upgrade the brakes on the old banana. I will be swapping the front end to a blazer brake set up with stock blazer brakes.
For the rear I am leaning towards the inline tube conversion kit with the parking brake set up. I like them so far for the ease of installation with the least amount of fabrication needed. I don’t want to cut down the axle flanges that way if I ever want to ditch the 8.5 rear end someone could convert it back to drum brakes for a factory restoration.
In-line brakes
For the proportioning valve I was looking at the inline tube replacement

Master cylinder upgrade:
Master cylinder from Napa
Just want to make sure the research I have done makes sense. Anyone see any holes in my plan?
