power brake booster pics - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

i am looking for booster setups that don't put the end of the master cylinder out to the front of the engine.
I am currently considering a 63-66 booster as the bracket is smaller. Also what about later booster 73-87??
thanks

I tried a 74 booster and bracket on my 68 cab. I got 4 of the 6 holes to line up. The auto trans shifter hit the booster. I think maybe if you had a floor shift it might work. Or some of the newer style boosters are smaller in diameter, maybe thats worth a try. Or hydro-boost. Has anybody tried that?

On my 66 I used a booster out of a citation, bolted it directly to the firewall. I had to lengthen my brake rod but I have had it in for 3 years now, and it works teriffic.
here is a photo of my '66 panel set-up.
