Is This Possible????

I am wanting to clean up the engine bay. I hate my humoungus brake booster and master cylinder, and i don't want to go to a smaller brake booster... Is there any way I can relocate the brake setup to another not so noticable area of the truck... Thanks

And p.s. where can if find the cheapest cowl induction hoods??

Thanks
Jason

Might not be easy but I don't see why you couldn't relocate the booster down under the truck somewhere.

Seems if memory serves there actually is a company that makes a kit for mounting the braking boosters under the vehicle.

Hey Chevjayfsd- I'd sure take that booster and master cylinder off your hands. It would give you some money towards buying one of these......Yeah, baby, 90 degree under dash mounted booster system. Don't worry about the picture, they have them with both 7 and 8 inch booster too. All under the dash. Be careful when filling the brake fluid though, if you have nice carpet.

The best deal for this along with tech service, knowledge, etc. is at Master Power Brakes. These people know what they are doing and have it all, including remote PB reservoirs. (No I don't have an interest in them)

Seriously, look at my post above. They are completely hidden UNDER DASH. Available with 2 different size boosters.

Jason,

this has nothing to do with your thread, but I noticed you were looking for some 3.73's. There is a guy over here that has (or had) a truck with a complete rear end that had 3.73's in it. No posi though. Email me and I'll get you a number.
