'56 GMC to Buick GN Master Cylinder - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

When I rebuilt my 56 GMC 1/2-ton several years back, I upgraded the brake system by means of an in line hydro-boost unit.

It works much better than just a stock master cylinder, but it is not ideal.

I plan to upgrade the system. I want to keep the master cylinder in the stock location. To get around the "real estate" problem of mounting under the cab, I picked up an electrically-boosted master cylinder out of a Buick Grand National. Has anyone used this unit? Problems? Lessons learned? Comments?

Thanks,
