Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
No, sorry this is the only booster bracket that I make for the '67-'72's. With the column shift you will have to use the factory booster and brackets that move the booster much farther from the firewall.

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
One more question CaptainFab. If I get a 8" booster then will this work with my column shift or still no?

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
I can't give you a definite answer on that since I haven't tried that, but I would think it should clear with an 8" booster. You might try taking a measurement from the aprox center of your master cylinder, to the column shift linkage, and see what you've got. If I have a column shift truck, I could make the measurement, but I don't.

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
So I would like to mount a power brake booster and master cylinder to the firewall of my '52 chevy pickup. I'm using an automatic trans and plan to use a column mounted gearshift.
Do you make any bracket that works for this application? I posted in the '47 - '59 section, and someone suggested that I ask you about a bracket. Thanks Bill |

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket

All of my booster brackets are designed to fit each particular series of trucks. I do not have anything specifically for the '47-'59's. It is possible that one of the 3 that I do make would work for your application, but that would depend on what you are going to use for a pedal assembly, and which booster. Let me know. Quote:

I plan to just buy an 8" or 10" booster from Autozone, unless I find that there is a reason this won't work. My truck has front disc brakes/rear drum brakes. Thanks. |

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
I really like your bracket. I have a 72 C30 and want to use it to bring the MC closer to the firewall and clean up the engine compartment a little. The truck is a floor shift so that won't be an issue. I was just wondering, will I need to modify anything other than the actuater rod or is it plug and play with my booster and MC? Thanks

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
Your original booster has a slightly different stud pattern than the boosters my bracket is designed to work with. Your booster is 3-1/2" x 3-1/2", and my booster bracket hole pattern is 3-3/8" x 3-1/2". You will just have to slightly elongate the booster mounting holes. Other than that and lengthening the booster pushrod the booster bracket will bolt right to your firewall. Let me know.

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
One of my booster brackets really isn't going to work for you unless you are using a pedal assembly from a '60-'72 truck. The booster needs to be bolted directly to the bracket that the pedals swing from. We need to know what your pedal assembly came from.

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
As far as I know it should work. But just to be sure, I would send the seller a message and ask him if the stud pattern on the booster is 3-3/8" x 3-1/2" center to center.

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
Very cool product. Im looking to add hydroboost to my 72 and will use this if it will make it easier.
Whats the hot set up for hydroboost? What booster/ MC are people using in combo with your bracket? Im going with a dana 44 front and 14FF with disc in the rear if that matters. Ive already added a hydro clutch setup using a MC from a 90s truck. Do you have a bracket for the 67-72 that incorporates a hydro clutch MC? I know everybodys setup is different, but will this bracket interfere with a hydro MC? thanks |

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
You can use most any hydroboost unit, with the mounting plate that I offer. Some of the late 80's early 90's Astro van units will bolt right up. As for the master for what you're doing, there is this master vylinder that seems to work well acording to the members over on CK5......
http://coloradok5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=174038 Although it seems that hood clearence is an issue with some installations. No I do not make a hydro clutch conversion for the '67-'72's. It's hard to say if there will be any interference without actually seeing what you have. Quote:

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
Hey Captain, I bought one of these... is it normal to have to trim the steering column bracket? Also, what bellows do you use to seal the hole in the firewall?

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
I am not aware of having to trim the column bracket. As far as I know the booster bracket should have enough clearance. As for sealing the hole, the bellows on the booster has been sufficient for me. There may be something that others are using that I am not aware of. Maybe the original for the '67-'72 trucks?

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
Thanks Captainfab. I received my bracket Saturday. Looks great. I'll post pics when I get it installed. Highly recommend to anyone wanting the booster closer to the firewall. Thanks again Captainfab

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
I've got a '67 that had drum/drum and is still column shift. I've swapped to disc up front and am ready to go power. What is the advantage to your adapter vs. an aftermarket booster / cylinder combo? I'll be small block eventually and will ditch the column shift, but for now it'll have to work. Explain why I should use your adapter and what other parts i'll need to get or fab.

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
Well as far as aftermarket booster brackets, mine is the only one that is a direct bolt on, with no hole drilling required. Plus mine does not locate the booster and master so far from the firewall as the factory style brackets do. But this is the reason mine will not work with the column shift. Once you have a compatable booster and the correct master for your braking system, you will have to extend the booster pushrod to connect with your brake pedal.
Yep, I'm not too far from you. Quote:
