Power brake conversion questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just completed this upgrade. The KEY part is the bracket for bolting this onto the firewall. I simply pulled the master cylinder away from the firewall and inserted this booster & bracket in the middle. After a few (several) adjustments to the pedal setup under the dash , my baby is stopping on a dime.

The only problem I have is when I first start out in the morning the brakes are kind of tight (grabbing quickly). BUT as i brake 3 or 4 times leaving my neighborhood they get better and end up getting to a "normal" pedal on a truck.

I don't know what the situation is with that, but OTHERWISE this was a pretty easy upgrade all things considered.
