Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D

Should have my hydro boost unit in this week so I can start mocking it up in place and see what needs to be done I know for sure going to need to get a longer rod assembly for it from Talon hydraulics. I managed to get my hands on the kent moore rod removal tool so I am set there just waiting. Came to find out the vacuum booster did not have nearly a big enough master cylinder for the 4 wheel 3/4 discs. the factory ones use a master that is 1.47 inches versus the older disc/drum 7/8 lol. so perusing gm parts diagrams to assemble all the parts that work on that particular disc brake setup since apparently the 4 wheel 2008 discs use 1/4 inch lines front and rear of the trucks. Interestingly enough lol gm makes a factory vacuum booster with an attachable vacuum pump for those running low vacuum cam shafts . Also in the 2005-2008 range some of the 1 ton trucks came with an antilock brake delete kit and use a traditional proportioning valve which I will be ordering here soon for my setup.
