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

Mike68stepside · 06-05-2009, 08:15 PM

I have a 68 Stepside with manual brakes with drums. Wanting to put in a brake booster to help with braking.

Two questions? (1) does it matter what size booster I put in (9" or 11") and if need straight mounting bracket or angled bracket; (2) do I need an original proportional valve or can I use one that has the knob to adjust. I'm not really looking to keep it original, but just want to have better braking.

Thanks for any help!

Check out cpp at classicperform.com

They have booster kits or they can give you an idea of what your options are.
