square body booster in to a 68
hey guys, just procured the front suspension and brake system from a 85 c10 with 79k original miles. brake booster and MC look like they have less than that. I was wondering if anyone had pics on how they installed this system on their firewall?? I'm getting ready to do it and would love some ideas. thanks.

Re: square body booster in to a 68
I believe captainfab has an adapter plate you can buy that will allow you to bolt that booster to your firewall with out cutting. you will still have to modify your push rod though.

Re: square body booster in to a 68
as far as I know you still need captainfab's adapter or do your own fab work

Attached is a diagram with the distances between the booster firewall studs from my 1970 3/4 ton GMC.

Re: square body booster in to a 68
It'll go. You have to drill, and make up a pushrod as previously mentioned. I've done several.
