truck build with rear mounted brake boosters

A few months ago I was looking at a build where dual brake boosters were mounted out back by the rear. I believe it was all painted red, if I remember correctly.
Does anyone remember also seeing this, and if so, do you have the link?
Thanks

Re: truck build with rear mounted brake boosters

Here is the only rear mount dual booster setup I have ever seen. Build by toocrazy

There are pics of the boosters halfway down page one.

Re: truck build with rear mounted brake boosters

That's it! Thank you. I don't know why I thought it was red.

I was looking in my 67-72 factory assembly manual and there are two pages showing boosters mounted on the frame rails and they are referred to as "vacuum power cylinders". That's what made me think of it.
Here's a shot:

I believe it was for heavy duty trucks.
