Question 68 C10 brake booster dilemna??

Hey Everyone: Putting a BBC in my 68 C10 stepside, this BBC will have
tall valve covers. I am running into clearance problem with my Brake Booster,
as its just too big. Question is are there any aftermarket smaller boosters
that I can use, or do I need a total refiguration of the brakes. Please
lend me your assistance and knowledge. Thanks in advance.

First off youare in the Burb section and might get more info in the truck section. Yes their are a few different ways you can go, 1 would be to get a smaller booster and you can find alot of company's selling them like MPB (master power brakes) as well as a few vendors on this site that I have seen in the suspension section. Or #2 is to swap over to a Hydro Boost system and that would give you the most room and really good stopping power. I will be going this way on my 72 Tahoe to cleen things up and get more stopping power along with adding larger brakes.

thanks for the info real helpful, but the hydro boost system won't work I believe because that system works off your power steering system and my 68 is manual steering. But I've now found a 8" dual diaphram that I think will work great.
