Red face Need Help swapping manual to power brakes....

Hey all, I need help switching from my manual to power booster/master cyl. in a '71 GMC 1500 1/2 ton P/U. Someone was kind enough to post some pics. for me last year, but I got injured and had to stop this project until now. I've bought a new Power booster w./ M/C attached, but have no clue as to what other brackets I need to mount it all before making new braake lines, and so on...

I've got some brackets from a '72 Jimmy that I pulled the power booster, and M/C out of when I dumped its motor into this '71 I'm doing the brake swap on, but don't know if I'm missing anything. If anyone has pic's., and/or can tell me what exactly I'll need, I'd REALLY appreciate it!!!! Thanks!!

Re: Need Help swapping manual to power brakes....

THANKS Rick!!! That's the one they showed me last fall---LOL! JUST what I was hoping to find! I think my Jimmy's bracket should fit, hell, I can always fab. something, if I'm lucky-ha! Only foreseeable problemo~ might be the diff. rod bolt someone eluded to, but I can always use one of my Mopar ones--- They're bound to be sturdier then right? ( as in forged -vs. cast) ---- J/K guys!!!---LMAO!!
