Power brakes disc/drum

[dwcardfan]

What is the best option for a new brake booster master cylinder combo for 65 truck? I have replaced front with a 72 disc and the rear has 72 drum.

There is several companies putting out a direct fit booster for that, CPP being the one I went with.

Did it bolt right up? How do you like it DLW?

I used a set for a 71 impala. I like the steel MC and older looking booster.

Hey Don did the impala booster bolt right up? Do you have any pics? Also did it come complete with booster, mc, and valve?

I have a brand new one from Brothers that I will sell you for $250.00 + shipping. They run $299.00 from Brothers + shipping. I used a bracket from Captfab with mine. It makes installing the booster much easier. Here is a pic.

Why not use 72 GM parts from the local NAPA, etc. to match the 72 brake parts you already have?

I have it sitting in the spare bedroom with a lot of other new parts so I haven't actually installed it yet. It is advertised as an easy installation and may need some new holes drilled, haven't looked into to it. It comes with firewall bracket and adjustable rod to the brake pedal for $299. http://www.classicperform.com/Store/...ck/6062BB2.htm

If you want something that is basically a bolt on deal, take a look at my booster brackets (link in my signature line). Then you can use one of the many compatible boosters listed in both post#1 and #183. You do not have to use the master cylinder that comes with a given booster.

Thanks Captainfab. I was thinking about using the impala one but was not sure about the pushrod.

[Captainfab]

When you add a brake booster the pushrod to the pedal will need to be lengthened.

Sorry for the slow responce. I used a Captainfab bracket and got a cuppling nut from Fasteners. I don't have pics yet. My truck is at the shop for brakelines. if I remember I will swing by and get a couple of pics in the morning.

There are quite a few pics in the for sale thread. The first 2 pics in post #2 are a '72 Impala booster in my Burb.

Thanks for all the help!!!

I finally got to the shop and got a couple of pics. In the one you can see the captainfab bracket. Fits perfect! I will probably paint the booster flat black and the MC with Por15.

Looks good, How did you extend the push-rod? GC66.

[donthekawguy]

I got a coupler that screws on the end that comes out of the booster into the cab from Fasteners, drilled a hole one inch down from the original one on the brake pedal, put the stock pushrod in that hole, press the pedal down a half inch off the stop thats on the bracket that holds the column, and will weld the rod to the coupler. It's not done yet but that should do it.
