Re: Under cab or firewall mounted master cylinder
Couldnt you cut a hole in the floor with a door or a piece to go over it like the battery?

Re: Under cab or firewall mounted master cylinder
I plan to put a c10 booster and MC in my 50 3100. There's a lip on both firewalls and the bracket/plate from the c10 mounts like it belongs there. You can also use the c10s brake pedal too. The under dash bracket mounts with only a little trimming, and its tucked up where you can't see it. I know its not the cleanest look for a smaller engine bay... But easy access.

Re: Under cab or firewall mounted master cylinder
just for giggles, an envoy or trailblazer has a firewall mounted booster that has pedals attached to the back side. it is a whole firewall panel that can be bolted to your firewall and have the whole deal ready to go. there is also a spot for the drive by wire throttle pedal, a hole for the steering shaft and another hole for wiring. may not fit all applications....

Re: Under cab or firewall mounted master cylinder
Yea, access would be a problem. I had thought of moving the battery access door and putting it over the MC. I had another cab with a good floor and thought it wouldn't be to hard to patch the access over it when I swapped out the floors. I wanted to keep can with 5 window. So..look factoryish but have access door on driver side. I'm not sure if anyone has done anything like that but I bet it would look good.

Re: Under cab or firewall mounted master cylinder
mine is on the firewall. it works great but honestly if I could go back I would have kept it under the cab. my motto is "classic not original". what I mean by that is I understand that some things need to be changed if you plan to put some miles on the truck but I never want any part of my classic truck to look modern. I bought an old truck because I like old trucks. having the pb booster under the cab is cooler and more classic. the power booster doesn't look great on the firewall.
