Is there a Smaller Brake Booster That I can buy? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I currently have the stock 11" Brake booster on my 69 c10. Im doing a LS Swap and my valve covers are tall so I want to get a smaller diameter brake booster. I see alot of Smaller and dual diaphram setups but they all seems like complete setups. Im really looking for a Smaller booster that I can bolt on as I have everything else already. Id prefer something that I can cross to a different vehicle so if I ever need a replacent I can go to my local parts store.

I use a 2004 C5 Corvette booster. It's dual diaphram. And 2002 Camaro master with a Wilwood adj prop valve.
Detroit Speed makes a bracket that makes mounting the booster easy.
You can get them used or buy new at NAPA with a life time replacement warranty.

On my current ls swap truck. I went with NO booster and have been very happy with it.

I just put some EBC yellow stuff pads on the front disc and now i'm even happier with it.

My previous ls swap truck with 'cam' didn't make enough vacuum to make the booster work well. I had an 8 inch dual diaphragm booster on it.
