66 Power Brake Booster - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**dennislbrooks** · 08-31-2005, 03:24 PM

My truck has manual brakes now are there any roadblocks to putting a 66 stock booster on a 66 C10? I noticed that the stock booster has 4 holes for mounting and my truck has only 2 studs now for the master cylinder.
thanks

Its a bolt in but you need the brackets, there is an aluminum bracket thqt bolts to the firewall & also a steel bracket w/a lever setup. Brian

Well, the mounting brackets came with the 66 booster but not the linkage. Sure is fun to make this stuff--be nicer if it works. I fabricated the linkage--still need a couple of pins and finish the rod to brake arm.

Does it look close as my 67 has a fabricated/converted 79 booster?

Also 3rd pic is one of my finished rear disc mounts ---would fit bothe a 66 and 67 and others. The unknowns about the rear disc is hooking up the emergency brake cable on the 83 camaro rear calipers. Flex lines are coming and will weld a mount when it is assembled. I will pull both axles and have the flanges turnrd down to accept the 88 4wd front rotors concentric hole.

The reason I am on the 66 message board as I have a 67 and my friend has a 66 I work on. Nice to see which parts are interchangeable.

All your guys constructive input is appreciated.
