Cool. I was in Phoenix a week ago, and I also picked up a POS- I mean Ford. Yours looks much nicer than mine. I think I might've seen yours in either craigslist or offerup while I was looking. Not sure. Definitely saw a couple of Ranchero's.

Also yeah, manual brakes are shit. Was actually just talking about a customer's Fairlane or 500 (some 60s Ford) with my dad and our employee. It's a bitch to drive, with no seat belts, manual brakes - drums with a single master, and no power steering. But it had a big motor. Going was easy, stopping and turning were very unpleasant, and sliding all over the vinyl seat was a little unsettling as well.

I can't imagine upgrading would be that hard. It's probably the same exact master with or without the booster, probably all you need is the booster and a vacuum hose.
