square body booster in to a 68
 

hey guys, just procured the front suspension and brake system from a 85 c10 with 79k original miles. brake booster and MC look like they have less than that. I was wondering if anyone had pics on how they installed this system on their firewall?? I'm getting ready to do it and would love some ideas. thanks.

noone? OK well I guess I'll be the first lol.... I was looking at the 67 parts truck in the driveway and it looks like I'll need to modify the lower portion of the mounting bracket to clear the steering column.

I believe captainfab has an adapter plate you can buy that will allow you to bolt that booster to your firewall with out cutting. you will still have to modify your push rod though.

how about on a 70 model that already had the 4 bolt firewall? anyone know if the spread is the same?

as far as I know you still need captainfab's adapter or do your own fab work

I saw a couple of pictures of a squarebody booster, and it looks as though they are angled off of the firewall whereas our boosters bolt square to the firewall...

Attached is a diagram with the distances between the booster firewall studs from my 1970 3/4 ton GMC.

neat, but won't work with column shifters.

It'll go. You have to drill, and make up a pushrod as previously mentioned. I've done several.
