Default anyone a brake expert?

I need to know what I need to upgrade to support 4 disk brakes. The front is a two piston ford 79 f350. The rear is going to be 75 chev 3/4 dana 44.

I need to figure out larger brake cylinder?

And could I just buy like a ram cyl?

Thanks
Chris

yes, you're gonna need a bigger booster, a ram 2500 should do the trick, upgrade everything essentially, your lines to the rears weren't really built to handle discs,
your proportioning valves will need replaced with new ones for disc brakes, you can probably just use front valves for the rear,

its late so im not thinking all proper

Okay, il look into buying a used booster. The lines, I am going to redo using lines from napa they told me they are cheap, and they have all the fittings. I can probably get the valves there too. I have never dealt with anything brakes. Just changing brake pads and what not.
