Looking For a Picture of a Truck with Factory Clutch and a Brake Booster - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**cericd** · 12-31-2020, 03:44 PM

My 1970 C10 has a 3 OTT and I just added a factory brake booster and disc/drum master cylinder which is causing the brake pedal to sit several inches lower than the clutch pedal. I have another thread going trying to find the correct way to solve this issue and have received a few answers. Some people have said that the brake pedal on a truck with a brake booster normally sits lower than the clutch pedal.

In this thread I am trying to find someone with a photo of a truck that came factory with a manual transmission and a brake booster, to see if the pedals actually sat even with each other or if they were offset with the brake pedal being lower.

72 C10 3OTT - I did add booster though.. I THINK I took it out of a 72....

The brake pedal will move down when the truck is running and the booster is active, FYI

Hey luvlegs, thanks for the pics. How much lower would you say that the brake pedal is from the clutch?

Here is my pedals. Clutch is 7" off the floor and the brake is 5-3/4".

Thanks for the pics and measurements Andy. Did your truck come from the factory with a booster or did you add it?

Mines the same as Andy's

I added the booster. I just had a whole 86 front disc brake system installed back this summer. Master cylinder, all the way down to the pads.

It sucks not being able to hear! LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB! After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
