When I first built the Carryall, I used a 1&1/4" non power boosted MC pushing 4 wheel disk brakes. It was not great, in fact scary in stopping. With only a few days before the Iowa Rally, I took her out like that. Honestly in the traffic at Fairfield, I was really worried if I had to make a emergency stop.

I got home and added a hydroboost system, still using the 1&1/4 MC. Braking was great, but the pedal went almost to the floor in a hard stop. I changed to a 1 & 5/16 " MC. Now I had great brakes and the pedal was hard at half depression. Since that episode all the other trucks I built always got Hydroboost and a 1&5/16" MC pushing 4 wheel disks.

I have no experience pushing drum brakes.
