'60-'62 Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Captainfab** · 08-12-2009, 10:31 PM

Here is the newest version of the power brake booster adapter bracket that I've been making since 1993. This bracket is fabricated from laser cut 10ga mild steel and fits 1960-62 Chevy and 1960-63GMC Pickups, Suburbans and panels and is 100% bolt on using holes already in your firewall. The booster side of the bracket has a 3 3/8" x 3 1/2" hole pattern. Boosters with this pattern are commonly found on S10's and full size pickups, Suburbans, Blazers and Tahoes from 1988 to at least 1998. You can also find compatable boosters on early to mid 70's Impala's. Of course you will have to join the booster pushrod to your stock MC pushrod that attaches to your brake pedal. This can be done by either threading both ends and using a coupling nut, or by just welding them together once you determine the correct length.

I have had the original version ('63-'66) of this bracket on my '66 Suburban and have driven over 120,00 miles with no issues. I have also installed these on a couple of local pickups with good results as well. If you are wanting to add hydroboost to your pickup, Suburban or Panel I also offer a mounting plate for the hydroboost HERE

The price on the bare steel brackets is $59.50 plus a flat $16.25 shipping in the US. If you are located elsewhere contact me for shipping charges. You can also get this bracket in a satin black powder coat for an additional $9.00. This pricing is always current and up to date. Mounting hardware is included. To place an order, post in this thread, send me a PM or send an email to captainfab454@hotmail.com, and I will give you the ordering and payment instructions and current lead time.

Here are some pics of it bolted up to an extra cab that I have. I am currently working on a version for you guys with manual transmissions that want to keep the hydraulic clutch. I hope to have that done before too long.

Captainfab,

Def. going to be getting one of those power brake brackets for my '61 since Im going to be using a '73 front end with disc brakes

Is there any way I can shorten the front "axle" because I know that the '73 is longer than my orig. front by 1.5'?

Want to put decent tires with nice width and dont want rub...

Thanks again for the PM about the chassi swap('61 to '73).....
