captainfab, Just making sure this will work for a 68 swb 4x4 frame? It is has the flat area for the steering box. Thx!!

[Captainfab]

Tis is the for sale thread for the '63-'66 brake booster not the steering box adapter plate.

To answer your question, I have sold many steering box adapter plates that have been installed on K series frames. I just do not have installation instructions or a template specific to the K series frames. I can give you a link to a build thread that has all the dimensions and pictures you need.

Do you have some adapter brackets in stock? Just trying to figure out turnaround time for one.

[Captainfab]

I replied to your PM. Other than a couple of powder coated booster brackets in stock, most orders are built when ordered.

Where can i source the vacuum for adding a brake booster? 1965 283. There is PCV valve and fitting behind carb that has a plug on oppsite side of the valve. Can I use that plugged port for the booster vacuum source, or does it have to be isolated from the PCV?

[Captainfab]

The vacuum for the PCV should be isolated from any other vacuum operated accessory. Is there no manifold vacuum port on the carburator? If the one with the PCV is the only one, then you will have to use that. Another option is a carb spacer with a vacuum port. Of course this depends on what carb you have.

The hydroboost mounting plates are exactly the same price as in post #1 of the for sale thread that is linked in my sig line. Here is the for sale thread.

All GM hydroboost units are interchangeable once you remove the factory mounting bracket and install my hydroboost mounting plate. You might look thru the for sale thread and see what application others have used for a hydroboost.

Captainfab,
Just finished the brakes on my 62 C10 that has a hydraulic clutch - drum/drum. I want to add a booster using your kit including the mounting bracket and wilwood clutch cylinder.
I just picked up an early 90's Booster and master cylinder setup from a Chevy 1500. Bolts measure 3 3/8x 31/2 so booster should be fine. Wondering if I can use the mc that is already on it or do I need a different mc. Also from reading previous posts it appears that I can eliminate the proportioning valve since it is drum/drum? Posted a picture of the booster assembly if that helps. Will get my order in as soon as I am sure I have the right parts. Thanks for your help,
Paul

[Captainfab]

This for sale thread is for the '63-'66 standard booster bracket. Here is the thread for the '60-'62 trucks with the hydraulic clutch.

http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...d.php?t=362375

You can not use a master cylinder designed for a disc/drum braking system on a truck that has a drum/drum braking system. You need a drum/drum master cylinder and the appropriate booster. With that booster you would have to use a master cylinder for a 1970 Buick Estate wagon with power brakes. Are you still using the original slave cylinder?

I saw you have a master/clutch master adapter for the 60-62 trucks, but do you have a similar setup for 64-66? I've got a 66 gmc that I'm putting a t56 in and your bracket looks like a cure for the headaches I'm having getting the clutch master figured out.

[Captainfab]

Yes I do make a booster bracket with a hydraulic clutch conversion for the '63-'66's. Here is the for sale thread.

Awesome! Thanks bud! I'll probably shoot you a message for payment info here in a day or so.

[Captainfab]

Here is a thread with some good info on lengthening the booster pushrod and some plumbing pics.
