Power Brake Conversion Help - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Guys & Gals, I need some help. I swapped everything from a 3/4 ton truck to my C-10. I had a few issues, like the master cylinder is switched front to back, etc. But I got it all together except one thing. The brake pedal to booster push rod. I did get the one from the doner truck, but it is about 1/2" too short. If I hook it up to the pedal, the pedal is depressed like half way and the brake lights come on. Is the piece that bolts to the pedal also longer than the C-10? I didn't take that piece, just the one that hooks to the linkage behind the booster.

If that isn't it, I'm at a total loss for ideas. Help! I can't drive my truck!
