3/4 Booster Projest goes WRONG - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Thought this would be a RELAXING Sunday Project....... WRONG ANSWER

After losing not one but two of the the little clips holding the linkage rods. (Autozone has some e-clips that will work in a pinch) Reman 3/4 MC/Booster doesn't fit the firewall bracket. LOVELY....... I immeadiately began speaking in tongues and headed for the shower. Making a 3rd trip to the parts house with old MC in tow, tommorrow.

Maybe I should quit running loose women and playing cards, maybe my luck would change?

Hate to hear you losing the clips, that's why I have a strong magnet handy when I fool with anything small and easily lost.

BTW no buying or selling on this board.

Best of luck for tomorrow, it seems you're going to need it

Hope it works out for ya, I want to do this mod also, so I need
yours completed so you can walk me through it in the future

Finally finished..... 3rd unit, actually one for a 3/4 ton van. I think the remanufacturer quality control is to blame. Everything fits like a champ.

Have ordered the prebent lines from Inline Tubes, but hooked it up wrong just to see. Brakes work fine, a tad touchy on the back. Expect this to be a perfect swap.
