Newer Master, Older truck
Hey guys... I trying to mount a mc and booster from a mid 80's truck on my 63. I need to lengthen the push rod by 1 1/2". Any suggestions? THx...Kevin

Re: Newer Master, Older truck
i went down to Lowes, they have some threaded nuts that are long, got the proper thread for the stock end that attaches to the pedal, got some all thread, and 2 backing nuts.....worked like a charm. Kieth

"All Thread"?
Im not doing this project but would be interested to know what "all thread" is. Sounds handy.

Re: Newer Master, Older truck
all thread is a long bolt looking rod with no head on it . it is metal rod that is threaded end to end . used a lot with turn buckles and such .

Re: Newer Master, Older truck
I would guess if you're using all thread, you'd want to use "B7". I'm not sure of the tensile strength but, if using it for brakes, regular lowes all thread may be "understrength'd"(sure, it's a word)

Re: Newer Master, Older truck
Oh okay. Thanks for the reply. All thread- got it. Around here we call it threaded rod.

Re: Newer Master, Older truck
I agree. If you are going to use any all thread on something critical as brakes, you definitely want to use B7 rod and not the grade 2 stuff found at HD/Lowes. You can also find a couple different universal brake pushrods at Speedway.
