Help with power brake booster
I searched for information on converting a 67 C20 that has only a master cylinder on the brakes to a drum/drum power brake. There are several threads but I could not find what type of trucks they are finding the power booster from. I have a local pick and pull that has 1967 to 1999 trucks in it. There are quite a bit trucks to pull from if I new what worked.
So the end goal is to add a power brake booster to a drum/drum set up on a 67 C20. While I am doing that I will change out all the rubber break lines. |

Re: Help with power brake booster
I/we are pulling the booster, linkage, and mounting bracket from a 67-72 truck with factory power brakes. The booster from the donor truck is most likely no good if pulled from a junkyard but get it anyway and use it for the core charge when purchasing a new booster! You will not need to remove the MC from the truck, just unbolt from firewall and gently bend the brake lines to get the MC to mate to the booster; no need to disconnect brake lines.
A factory drum/drum or disc/drum master cylinder will bolt right up to the booster, the master cylinder is the same part number for power or manual brakes. You will need the push rod from booster to MC though. Also get the linkage from pedal to booster. After all is installed, check your brake lights for operation, you may need to adjust the brake pedal switch. I am not aware of '73+ hardware working, but it might.
