Project Green Bean '74 C10 to K10 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The brake pedal swap wasn't straight-forward at all. First the rod end on the booster is metric but the brake pedal end is SAE. And the pushrod on the manual and auto pedal have different ID's on the eyelet. So after some head-scratching I ordered some metric couplers and welded one end to the rod, which I had to enlarge the hole on. Phew, thought that was a pain. Then I realized my brake switch was still a good 1" from engagement...so I adapted the bracket with an adjustable "stop". Problem solved, brakes now work and feel like factory power brake system.
