Re: transmission linkage

I think Orrie has a photo in his stuff of the pedal, rod and booster on his 56 (?) Task force truck. That won't be an exact match to your 50 but it will give you some good ideas.

As the push rod runs some distance you want it to be very stout.

Re: transmission linkage

I made my own brake bracket in 1985 to use the stock pedal and 74 truck mc under the floor. This build I decided to add a booster and based my design on aftermarket approaches with some enhancement (in my mind), details are in the build thread towards the start. Because of the column I used, the auto trans shift linkage and brake pedal intersect. I used a B&M race cable shifter and adapted it to my column (82 Eldorado). That is in the build thread too. My truck is a 59 but, like Mr48 said principle is the same.
