Enjoy your build, your doing great work.

Did you ever find the correct bracket for that booster you got? I've got the same issue with a later model booster (6 hole bracket) going on my '67.

No I kind of switched my attention to the motor parts, but I think I need the booster from a 70's truck. then get the brackets for that booster if I cant find one with the brackets already on it. The booster I have is from an 85' and the bracket is riveted on. I dont know much about brake boosters, so not sure if you could drill out the rivets and swap brackets or not. sorry I'm no help on this one.

jlsanborn · 09-12-2011, 07:39 PM

Ya, after some closer looking and a little more searching on here, late model boosters are a bust for our trucks. I did find a thread where a guy modified one, but it sure seems like a lot of work vs. just getting the one that will bolt on.

Search - Late model power brake booster upgrade

I was at the local pick-n-pull today getting the rotors/calipers for my truck and thought I'd grab the booster and prop valve while I was at it. I should have looked a little closer first. I'm out $14, but the worst part was the hornet nest I stirred up. They were mighty angry that I was in there, but I was determined and took it three times before I got the damn thing out! Oh, well - another lesson learned the hard way.
Thanks for the feedback on this and good luck with your sweet project!

XxCHEVYMANxX · 09-12-2011, 11:27 PM

Thanks jlsanborn, getting the correct booster is the way to go. one less problem to deal with. good luck with your project. oh and sorry to hear about the wasps, been there done that.

Thanks VA72C10, I love the details. there wasn't anything wrong with it besides the ugly, and I kinda have to re-use what I can.
I didn't get much done today. here's a couple pics.
