Why not 4 calipers up front?

So here I am freezing my butt off in Pennsylvania in this drafty old house, and every winter I start to think too much. So here's this years installment of my possibly misconceived thoughts. I read an article about a guy that took the hydroboost system off a wrecked cummins pickup and installed it on his gas powered ramcharger, with amazing results in regard to braking. I wonder why that hasn't been done on a larger scale on gas pickups.

Later the same day, I read an article about a Mustang drift car that had 2 rear calipers on each side, using a custom caliper bracket. Apparently in drifting locking up the rear brakes is the whole show. That got me thinking, if someone is running a 73-76 front sway bar setup (or possibly aftermarket), they could cut a pair of 11.75 caliper brackets and weld them together, allowing for calipers on the front and rear of the front spindles. The calipers and pads are cheap as heck, and it would seem to me the hardest part would be figuring out how to get a master cylinder capable of pushing a bunch more fluid without a big increase in pedal effort, and plumbing the front brake hoses. I know these calipers are heavy, but I wonder how a setup like this would fare against say the drum spindle viper setup some folks are using. Aside from my 68 barracuda, I have an 87 D100 pickup, and unless I'm missing it there is zero out there for upgrading those brakes. I would have to think 4 front calipers or hydroboost would make a big difference for pickups.

Anyway, I was just curious if anyone else has pondered on this stuff. There are definitely some talented craftsman on our site that could pull this off without too much difficulty.

Turn up the electric blanket and pass me the popcorn.....the movie is getting ready to start....and it's chilly in here.....
