Brake Booster Pics Needed - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

skokie · 03-15-2004, 12:46 AM

I am getting a booster next week for the 68. I need to see some pics for the braces setup. I have three braces here and dont know where they connect to.

Thanks

I thought those were for the 71/72 trucks only?
I have had 2 70 trucks with brake boosters, one 3/4 ton, and a one ton...neither had a brace of any sorts.

My 72 has the brace but the 69 does not...

I'm in the process of adding PB to my 68. Below find a link to pics of the project. Big issue I'm having so far is the air cleaner for the 6 cyl I have. It reauires a special housing to allow clearance for the booster.

The brackets you mentioned are shown in the pics. This booster with 2 braces I believe came off a later K10.

Like someone mentioned earlier apparently some had braces some didn't. I painted up one brace so far but not the other. I'm not sure if I will install the braces or not. If the hole isn't in the firewall it may be difficult to drill from the engine compartment side.
