need to decide if u want a 7" or even a 8" booster. believe u might look at some of our sponsors and they should offer a booster for your disc front brake set up.
Power Brake Question
just bought a nomad with no power brakes, but the previous owner did add discs up front. can i just add a booster to this? is there anything else that needs to be done to convert to power brakes?

You'll probably have to change the master cylinder or get an adapter. There are manual and power M/C's. The manual M/C piston has a deep bore so the pedal rod doesn't fall out of the piston. ....http://www.classicperform.com/TechBook/BrakeTroubleshoot.htm#pushrod
I'm guessing you should consider a proportioning valve. Other members will know a lot more about this, but I think adding the booster will increase the need to control the back brakes from locking up prematurely.
