Default need booster advice

A friend has a 1960 vette with drum brakes, no booster. A potential buyer is getting up there in age and he is considering adding a brake booster to make the car more drivable for her. Would adding a booster in this situation be possible and would it make a noticeable difference and, if so, where would be the best place to order one?

Thanks in advance!

Ron
