Can anyone identify my brake booster? If not can any one recommend one? This one has plastic collar in rear and has broken and doesn't work any more.

Surprisingly, i found out recently autozone also carries replacements for the factory boosters for our trucks as well. They are advertised on their website. It is remanufactured by a company by the name of Cardone. I'll try to attach a picture from their website. This one is for a 1960.

I can't tell from that view. I need to see the backside more. Either way, someone has fabricated a custom bracket to mount the booster to the firewall. This was likely done to cover the holes for both the brake master and clutch master on the '60-'62 Chevy's and the '60-'63 GMC's, and provide a mounting place for the booster. I agree that the master appears to be original for a '64-'66 truck.

Very nice looking engine/engine compartment.

The master is a stock piece. The booster bracket seems to be attached (welded)at factory. The rod has been modified to work with this booster and i want to try to find a manufacture that makes it. I will try to get more photos and post asap.

Here an old picture and have no idea what year the picture was taken but it was before the booster was installed.

I had a power brake booster very similar to that in my Chevelle, that came out of a 64 GM intermediate (I don't remember which one, sorry). It factory mounted flush to the firewall just like that does.

Captain, I have a drum/drum MC, and a Booster for a 67 Impala, will the same bracket work for me? I have a 66C10, 2WD, 283.
Hope I am not intruding in this thread...

Which bracket are you referring to? The one in this thread, or the ones that I sell? Maybe send me a PM so we don't hijack this thread any more.

Attached are photo's of back top view of booster and 3rd picture bolt that tightens band around the booster together.

Re: Power Brake Booster
 
Whoa, looks like someone welded those brackets to the booster. Hopefully they disassembled the booster before doing that.

When I replied to your PM, I sent you the link to the '63-'66 booster bracket. I didn't realize you were the guy who posted this thread. Here is a link to the '60-'62 booster bracket for sale thread.

Part Number is 54-73537. $154.00 includes $40 core charge. Listed under 65-66 Chevy C-10 Pick up. It comes with brakets already installed. As you can see i painted the booster and the brakets.

Re: Power Brake Booster
 
m455sx, just to clarify, you bought a 65-66 c10 booster and bolted it right up to your 62 c10? no mods or anything needed? Longer rod or anything needed? clutch rod, etc?

m455sx 05-30-2012 08:41 AM

Re: Power Brake Booster
 
Nope, the rod appears to be out of the same year truck i guess( look at the begining pictures). All i did was pull the bolt shaped pin and everything went back together. The rod has threads for adjustment and i adjusted until all play was taken out. I am not sure if the rod in the pictures was custom made or from same year truck?

Re: Power Brake Booster
 
Let me know if more pictures are needed as i can take some under dash pix and post them.

CRGRS 66 05-30-2012 10:24 AM

Re: Power Brake Booster
 
Thanks for posting this up, is the MC just a single line unit?

m455sx 05-30-2012 12:58 PM

Re: Power Brake Booster
 
Yes, i want to convert to a dual MC. I have to wait until i can afford the proper tools to do so properly.
