Re: Adding a Brake booster

My '71 utilizes a bell crank (well, sort of. I believe the pivot pin on the "bell crank" is below both the pedal and booster rods...so the pedal pushes, not pulls). Anyway, I vaguely remember both pedal and booster rods having eyelets to receive a pin. Not so much a clevis arrangement. Hope that helps.

Edit: Maybe "lever" is better word to use instead of "bell crank"

Re: Adding a Brake booster

in other words this booster is not the correct booster for our trucks?

I think it is not. My booster definitely does not have the fork/clevis end push rod. Should look like this: http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/de...1305&ppt=C0066
