===Drum brake upgrade=== If you elect to do a power-only upgrade, and keep 4-wheel drums, be aware most master cylinders are designed for a disc/drum setup, and you will have to add 10 psi residual valves to the front lines. *The front drums and hubs come together, at about $130 each *Wheel cylinders are $32 each *Shoes are $25 plus cores *Hardware is $15, flex hoses are $25 each *The above mentioned wheel bearings are $200 So, a complete brake job will run around $600 just for the two front wheels, without the master cylinder or booster.
