Did a brake system swap a few years ago, including the booster. Swapped late model cop fury (b f g) setup into an early Dakota. Originally just wanted the 11' rear brake setup in the truck, as it turned out we had to change more than the backing plates and brake assembly. Long story short, we...

Your correct there Mr.67. They are almost identical to the brakes in my Cherokee, and my Dakota, and my Duster. If I was goin that far I'd do the axle seals as well.

I found It's best to do one side at a time , that way you can look at the other side while your rebuilding them.

If you have to open up the system, take a good hard long look at the rubber lines for the brakes,...they have a tendency to "close up" on the inside,...they'll let fluid pass thru under braking pressure, but won't release,....lots of poeple replace calipers and wheel cylinders to no avail cause...

Precisely,...But I had the car to part out, and I like a high hard pedal,...I did It cause I got tired of puttin rotors on the truck after towing my little Omni's and Horizon up and down the hills here.

Checked with my bud at the stealership,..Late 80's Cop brakes are 11', they will fit and work, but you'll have to change or swap the Master Cylinder as well as the proportioning valve. I did this on my 90 Dakota, kinda nice having bigger brakes when towing.

Interesting, I've got manual discs on the spacer and i've been unable to find power booster or correct prop valve,...maybe i won't need to change them after all you say...
