installed my factory power brake booster today

[sigshooter]

I installed my factory brake booster today and WOW what a difference! I put power steering on my 6 cylinder truck 20 years ago and that made a huge difference also. I wish I had done this years ago!!

It didn't take long an hour or two at most, and most of the time was cleaning everything up ( bolt heads and the aluminum bracket, etc. )

Nice truck! So it looks like you still have drums all around?
This might be something I could do until I install my front discs next year.
Is that a 292?

Awesome, looks great! This is something I am considering also. Any plans on going to a dual res master cylinder with split lines?

Yup, it is easy to do and makes a world of difference... I was going to do the 6 hole rotors on the front, but after this I may just stay drum.

It is a 250 engine

Was thinking the 6 hole disk ( as mentioned above ) and considering the dual master cylinder and split lines, but I am very happy with it right now... power made a huge difference

If you don't mind me asking how much do you have into the booster project and are the parts easily available?
Thanks!

This factory booster assy I got off Ebay, $20.00 plus $25.00 shipping for the booster, bracket, pedal, alum. bracket, all bolts, etc. Complete assy off a running driving truck. cheap

I have bought them at swap meets for about the same price.

$5.00 can of paint and couple bucks in vaccum hose, so about $50.00

Watch Ebay and the swap meets, I have 3 extras that I have picked up here and there for less than $50.00 for an entire change over

Someone had one posted in the classifieds of this forum, check there.
