Re: 63 power brakes

I'm not aware of any aftermarket booster/master upgrades that don't require a little work to connect the pushrod to the pedal. Was this setup you bought supposed to be a original power brake unit for the '63-'66 trucks? I do sell power brake booster brackets that bolt up to the firewall without drilling holes. Then you source your own booster and master cylinder locally. With this assmebly, fabrication will be necessary to connect the booster pushrod to the pedal. I try and make sure the customer is aware of that prior to the purchase.

I would contact the seller and see what they have to say about the situation.

The actuation rod coming from the pedal is a straight shaft with a rounded end that fit the end of the old mastercylinder. The new booster/master cylinder has a short eyebolt end that barely makes it to the firewall. Do I need to ship it back, or is there some adapter available? I hesitate to fab something due to the shortness of the eyebolt. Ideas?
