Brake Booster Mounting Question
 

Okay, so I have a 1971 c10, it apparently use to have a brake booster but now it doesn't. When I got the truck, it just had a master cylinder mounted and hooked up. I have an aftermarket smaller I'm guessing it's a 10" booster. When they got rid of the original booster, they also ditched the bracket so now I don't have that. Would it be okay to mount this booster flush to the firewall without the bracket as long adjust the rod properly? I can take a post pictures is need of what I'm working with.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks- David

Sure if you have the ability to make the booster a flush mount type thing lots of people would like to have that done to their truck to make it more appealing. Some want it the factory way of course. I have a mixture of both some of mine will be flush mounted with a booster some will have the factory mount that sticks out to the core support [almost] and the other will have hydro boost.The only thing you need to worry about the the proper
length stroke for the rod on the pedal travel. Jim

Captain Fab is a vendor here on the board--makes a great mount. Do a search for him and see if his bracket will do the trick.

Okay cool, thanks Jim. I was sure it would work fine, with some adjustments. I just needed another opinion from someone else who has seen it done before. I think I would prefer the slicker look of having it flush mount anyhow. I'm not worried about it being anywhere near factory looking. I'll post a picture of it when I get it mounted up. Lou Baffa, if ai run into any trouble and decide to use a bracket I'll look him up. Thanks for the tip.
Thanks for the help guys!

Hey guys, I spent several hours out in the garage working on the brake booster project today. Well I pretty much have it mounted up flush to the firewall now and it has been a pain to say the least. BTW here is the truck I have been working on. It's a 1971 SWB Stepside with a 350 and 4 speed Saginaw out of a camaro.
