I am converting my 72 C-10 to power brakes, Summit racing recommends that i use

and they say this is all i need for the conversion,

Is there any type of other extension rod i need to find for the pedal??? Any thoughts??

I'm not recommended one vendor over an other but mine looked like this. http://www.brotherstrucks.com/prodin...number=KORN772

I would check on the vendor site for local vendors. Also, I would give them a call and ask questions. A lot of them have everything you need and some have done the work themselves.

Your 72 C10 doesn't have power brakes from the factory?

I got a Booster and Master cylinder with proportioning valve from CPP to replace my 40 year old worn out unit. Works like a charm.

Nope it is an odd model, power steering but no power brakes??? Go figure
anyways i was going to go with the CPP from summit, i just was wondering if i am going to have to go hunting a odd ball part or something, like a different pedal rod or something small like that

I'm not familiar with the one you're looking at but you will need the brake pedal to booster bracket link. As I mentioned, if you call some of the vendors, some of them can fix you up with what you need. Be sure and readjust the brake light switch if you have to.
