With the dirver side off set of the IL6 and the 4bbl on there, it does not leave much room for a Master Cylinder for power brakes.
At that point, if you have not already considered it, hydro-boost may be a better option for you.

Just thinking ahead .... which is funny I would do it on your build, but neglect it on mine .....

Nah there is plenty of room for a master.

I had a set of discs off a 72 C10 laying around. When I say laying around I mean about 5 years,.. we didn't use the spindles, Dino ordered some drop spindles, It was cheaper to just order new rotors and callipers, $40 for new rotors and $22 for callipers. new ball joints,bushings, tierods. the usual. I just talked to Dino yesterday and my power booster came in. Its the mini size Dino used on his pro-street truck...Plenty of room..

Here's a better picture of Ds truck with the mini booster.

Gotcha!
A mini booster never even crossed my mind, but that makes sense.
I was asking because a friend has a stock 72, and with the master cylinder there isnt enough room for the traditionally mounted air cleaner and that is just on top of a 2bbl carb.

Nice build man, thanks for the pic too!

McMurphy, Here's a shot of my truck with the headers and the intake. I just picked up the mini booster and master cylinder today. I"ll post a pic. when I get it in. Just a visual...

[dbomb53]

A few more pictures, I took 5" out of the headers. I had to shave a portion out of the bottom of the intake to clear the first and second header pipe. Motor is sitting up 1.5" to clear the steering linkage. So far so good!

[Dinos63]

duude looks so good dom,nice work on them headers

[dbomb53]

I'm in the same situation as others, waiting for parts and my trans to arrive. But here are some pics of my 1950 COE that just arrived! Any ideas amd photo shop welcome!

[dbomb53]

[McMurphy]

[dbomb53]

Got my motor mounts made up, painted the firewall and installed my booster and master cylinder today.

[Dinos63]

looks killer!

[65 old school]

Yes, it's looking great! The COE looks like a great start also, Yes you do have a sickness. And you are wright, if you want to get them done, and stay alive. DON'T sell the COE to Dino, Liz WILL Kill you both for sure!

[64shortc10]

Fire wall looks great! Where are you guys purchasing the brake booster/ master setups from? I'm going to need one of those! Project is moving right along! Keep it going?
