Part name question - brake booster->pedal

[tard01]

I'm trying to convert to power brakes by adding a brake booster.

This is the booster/input i have to work with:

The brake push rod i have on my master cylinder is similar to this:

I pulled the rod out once when replacing the master cylinder. To my knowledge, i do not believe it has any thread or screws. I thought it was just a long piece of metal that had a rubber washer at the end to hold it in place.



my question is - does that part have a specific name, and can anyone recommend places i might be able to acquire different shaped ones that can receive threading so i can cut/adapt it to my purpose to connect it to my pedal? Or is just randomly checking hte junk yard going to be my best bet?

hopefully i worded that clear enough.

It is more complicated than you think to convert non power to power brakes. Years ago GM used to sell conversion kits that came with new brake peddles vacuum boosters and master cylinder and any other adaptor parts needed.

The best way for a conversion is to find the same model truck in the salvage yard and take off all the pats you need.
