Brake booster & master cylinder

[steverino66]

Bought an '83 parts truck for my 66 project - got the front crossmember with steering box and pump, disk brakes, tilt column; will the brake booster and master cylinder work also?

I asked the same ? a while back , and I was told yes.

Cool - thanks.
Looks like some mounting fabrication will have to take place, so I wasn't sure.

I had one person tell me I would have to fab a bracket, and another said it bolted right up. So Let me know what happens, because I still havn't done mine yet.

It'll be awhile for me to get to also, but I'm pretty sure it won't bolt on directly, just looking at the bolt pattern on the original.
I noticed some of the high-dollar aftermarket versions have vertical slots for bolt holes on a bracket that looks very similar to the '83 bracket. My main concern is the pedal-rod geometry working properly. We'll see, I guess.
