In reading 56taskforce's post above, he thinks that the standoff will bolt on, on top of the spring bracket. If that will indeed work, the standoff will need to be shortened an amount equal to the thickness of the spring bracket.

Which would be the best master cylinder and booster to use with the factory drum brakes?
Thanks,

You can use any of the compatable boosters listed. Speaking of which, I will be updating the list in the near future. Keep in mind that you can also use a hydroboost unit with the addition of my hydroboost mounting plate. As for a master cylinder, you will want to use one for a '67-'70 truck with power brakes. Of course those will be a dual reservoir master, so you will need to split the lines. You will also need the proportioning or metering valve for the drum/ drum '67-'70 truck.

The re-design of this kit has been complete, and it seems to be working well. Unfortunately due to the extra cost involved in the new design I need to raise the price on this kit by $20.00. So now the total is $199.50 plus the flat rate shipping cost of $14.00. I don't have any good installed pics of the new design yet. I will try and get some soon and post them here.

Here are a few pics of the re-design of this kit. The new linkage assembly allows full stroke of the pedal, with plently of adjustment to fine tune it to your liking. Also there is more clearance to the wiring plug on the firewall next to the clutch master cylinder.

i have a 63 gmc that i have already converted to 350 with sm465 manual from a 70 3/4 ton. i want to convert the front to 72 front end. i have the complete 72 suspension and crossmember intact. plus the steering box still attached to the draglink. i also have an nv3500 5 speed that i plan on swapping into it as finances come available. i am on a real tight budget so am doing as much as i can without farming any work out. i plan to get the 72 booster/ master cylinder assembly to match the brakes. the issue i am having is that when i do the tranny swap, it has a hydro clutch on the passenger side, not the driver. i figure i'll have to get the master/slave cylinder assembly for 93(?)ish with the hose installed like factory. will this bracket set up do what i want/need to do?
this is my daily driver/ work truck, so i can't have it down too long trying to work on it, when i really need to be working with it. i already plan to get the power steering bracket to match if this is what i need.
this is my old beast. it's not pretty, but i love it and drive it as much as i can. 4 speed with 36" glasspacks and dumps makes it fun to drive around town.

Re: '60-'62 POwer Brake Booster Adapter Bracket With A Clutch
 
Yes this booster bracket and hydro clutch assembly should work for what you are needing. However, the '72 truck booster is not a direct bolt on with this bracket. The stud pattern is not the same as the holes in the bracket. I have had customers elongate the holes and use them. If you have not bought the booster yet, you might consider one of the compatable boosters listed in post #1. As for the slave cylinder, in my experience with the NV3500 slaves, they do have a threaded metric port on them. It should not be a big problem making up a line to connect it to the Wilwood clutch master cylinder. I can do some checking and see what I can come up with to simplify it.

this is the clutch assembly i was planning on using. it matches the trans and the clutch in it. unless the set up you have is gonna save me some money that is. i'm trying to do it correctly but still maintain a budget.

i don't mind elongating the holes in the bracket abit to match up with what i have. it matches the brakes that are already there and it's $80 cheaper.

i want this bracket as well as the power steering one.
pm me with info for ordering plz. i can pay pal the funds.

Captainfab 06-01-2012 02:08 AM

Re: '60-'62 POwer Brake Booster Adapter Bracket With A Clutch
 
That clutch master cylinder is not going to bolt up to this bracket without modification. This bracket is designed to use the Wilwood master cylinder, which can be sized to work with the OEM slave cylinder you would use for the NV3500.

Just to clarify, you can use any of the compatable boosters with the '72 master cylinder you have. You do not have to use the '72 booster with the '72 master cylinder.

I'll send you a PM.

Hello. I just bought a 1966 C 10 2wd with a 6 cylinder and NV3500 installed by the previous owner. The foot clutch/master cylinder is a homemade mess. Would your power brake/hydro clutch setup work on this truck? If so could you let me know what info you need from me to put a kit together. Your system looks slick and I hope it will work for me. Thanks, Mark.

Captainfab 06-13-2012 10:49 PM

Re: '60-'62 POwer Brake Booster Adapter Bracket With A Clutch
 
Yes this setup would work, but I do have the parts to make a hydraulic clutch conversion for the '63-'66 trucks. It is basically the same as this one, but I eliminated some unnecessary material. The main info I will need is, what the bore is of the slave cylinder being used. I will need that info to be able to supply the correct clutch master.

Thanks for the reply. Would I be able to tell the bore size externally or would I have to remove thr trans.

Captainfab 06-13-2012 11:34 PM

Re: '60-'62 POwer Brake Booster Adapter Bracket With A Clutch
 
No need to remove the trans. All you need to do is remove the slave cylinder from the trans and get a measurement of the bore. You could also take a pic of it and post it here. If it is an original slave cylinder for the trans. I have one here that I can measure.

marhil61 06-21-2012 06:16 PM

Re: '60-'62 POwer Brake Booster Adapter Bracket With A Clutch
 
I finally had a chance to measure the slave bore and it is a 7/8 inch bore. If there is a bettor option than this slave than I dont mind changeing it. I am looking for as complete a kit as you can provide. Also any tips on extra parts I may need and the best options on brake master cylinders. Thanks for the help.

Captainfab 06-22-2012 01:03 AM

Re: '60-'62 POwer Brake Booster Adapter Bracket With A Clutch
 
There is no reason to change to a different clutch slave as long as that one is working OK. I just needed to know the size, so that I can provide the correct clutch master. I'll do some checking to see what else will be needed to plumb this hydro clutch setup.

What brake master cylinder to use depends on what brake system your truck has. Is it the original 4 wheel drum brakes, or are there discs on the front?

I wil be adding front disks with dropped spindels and rebuilding the rear drums soon. I'm looking at different kits now if you have any suggestions. I will be using 15" wheels. I also have to reconnect the parking brake from the drum cables to the handle in the cab because the previous owner misplaced the originals. Do you think the stock style system will work with the trans? Any thoughts on who sells the best replacement cables? Thanks again for the help.

Re: '60-'62 POwer Brake Booster Adapter Bracket With A Clutch
 
I really don't have any experience with any of the aftermarket front disc brake conversion kits as I have never bought one. I have always used OEM or original replacement parts. There are several others here that have bought those kits though.

A typical '71-'87 truck based master cylinder should work but that ultimately will be determined by what calipers you end up with.

As for your e-brake cables, I would recommend using the original style for the '66-'72 trucks. I can't say for sure if it will work for your setup having not seen how it is isntalled. But the '66-'72 cable system typically works with most conversions that include the addition of a rear trans crossmember.

Hi captain,
Thanks for a great product. The clutch booster bracket was really easy to get mounted up. The guy who put in the disc brakes was so impressed, you may have a new customer.
Great product on the mc, and brake booster kit.

I have a 1960 4x4 4 speed original also a 1998 4x4 can i put the ps and power disk brakes with your adapters from my 98 to the 60 and if not what do i need to get ken

Captainfab 01-04-2013 12:19 AM

Re: '60-'62 POwer Brake Booster Adapter Bracket With A Clutch
 
About the only thing you can use from that '98 as far as steeing and brakes is concerned would be the brake booster and master cylinder.

For a power steeing box, you will need one from a '68-'86 K series truck, Suburban, Blazer, or a '87-'91 V series truck, Suburban or Blazer.

The only way you are going to get disc brakes on that front differential is to swap it for another differential that already has disc brakes. That will be either a Dana 44 from a '69-'80 K5 or K10 series, or Corporate 10 bolt from '80-'86 K10 series or '87-'91 V1500 series. Keep in mind that your front and rear differential need to have the same gear ratio within .01

If the engine and trans in the '98 are in good condition, those would be a nice upgrade to your truck.

This one for the '60-'62 will not quite fit on the '63-'66's. However I do have one that is specifically for converting a '63-'66 to a hydraulic clutch.

I'll send you a PM with payment details.

BTW, I did clean out my PM in box.

This bracket is fabricated from laser cut 10ga. mild steel and fits 1960-62 Chevy and 1960-63 GMC pickups, Suburban and Panels and is 100% bolt on using holes already in your firewall. The booster side of the bracket has a 3 3/8" x 3 1/2" hole pattern. Boosters with this pattern are commonly found on S10's and full size pickups from 1988 to at least 1998, Suburbans, Blazers and Tahoes from 1992 to at least 1998. You can also find compatable boosters on early to mid 70's Impalas and Caprices. Of course you will have to join the booster pushrod to your stock MC pushrod that attaches to your brake pedal. This can be done by either threading both ends and using a coupling nut, or by just welding them together once you determine the correct length.

For the hydraulic clutch master, this is setup to use a readily available Wilwood master cylinder. To install the master cylinder you will have to drill (2) 11/32" holes for the mounting bolts, and a 1 1/2" hole (with a hole saw) to accomodate the center of the master cylinder. The supplied standoff simply bolts to your brake pedal using an existing hole. Then the pushrod and heim joint screw onto the clutch master pushrod on one end and to bolts to the standoff on the other end.


This adapter plate kit contains the adapter plate with mounting hardware, the standoff, pushrod and heim joint with related hardware and the Wilwood master cylinder. The cost on this is $199.50 plus the flat rate shipping cost of $15.70. As with my other brake booster brackets, you can add powder coating for an additional $7.50. Satin black is a normally stocked color, but other colors are available.

Please see posts #33, #43 & #44

Hey Captain,
I have the 62 4wd suburban with the 350 and original 4 on the floor. I am looking to get my drum brakes to work well enough that I can pull an Airstream sometime in the future. I was told by classic performance that this is the booster setup I will need especially since I have the dual reservoir for the hydraulic clutch.
http://www.classicperform.com/Store2.../MT6062BBD.htm
Can you confirm? And if that is what I am looking for is this the adaptor kit that I need to get from you?
Thanks,
AJ
