I saw your setup at the NSRA show in Louiesville and it looked awesome.

I would like a black powder coated one for a 70 Blazer auto floor shift to zip 30606

Thanks!

I am the guy who talked to you at the show and asked you about the bracket.

Thank you! I'm really happy with it.

You can find them on ebay for around $40-50.

Captainfab,

Am I correct that this will not work with the 3 3/8" square bolt pattern booster? This is what I have currently, just double checking. Looks like an awesome part, would love it on my truck.

Thanks!

Thanks Captainfab, Got the bracket installed on the stainless firewall cover with the booster and pedal. It fit perfectly, cant say the same for my first try on the stainless, lol!

Captainfab 11-23-2016 02:16 AM

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 
You would have to slightly elongate the booster holes in the bracket to accomodate that booster.

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 
I thought had posted this list of compatible boosters in this thread, but I don't see it. There is an expanded version that comes with every booster bracket.

'There are a few listed in post #1, but here is a little list.

'67-'70 pickups, Suburbans, Blazers
'70-'74 Impala, Caprice
'80's G body Vans (full sized)
Early Astro/Safari vans with the vacuum booster
'82-'02 S10/S15 pickups and Blazers
'88-'98 full sized pickups
'92-'98 Suburbans, Blazers

There may be some other applications, and/or years, but these are the ones I have been able to verify.

Thanks for the reply. I'm also noticing that there are interference issues with the column shift, which I am using currently. Can this be resolved by using a 7" booster? Has anyone tried this?

Thanks!

Captainfab 11-29-2016 01:35 AM

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 
The column shift interference was mentioned on the first page of this for sale thread. I believe there are other mentions as well as a pic or two in this thread also. It seems that if a booster with a diameter of less than 10" is used, that will provide sufficient clearance.

Thanks for the reply! I took another read through several of your posts and see some great pics and info. I also noticed that one member had good luck since he had also moved his column down into the dash 1.5" or so, and the clearance was plenty then for the linkage. I'd love to do this mod anyways as I'm tall, so I think that might be the ticket.

Can you send me an invoice for a powdercoated black bracket shipped to 90245?

Thanks! Can't wait.

Here is the latest version of the power brake booster adapter bracket that I've been making since 1993. This bracket is fabricated from laser cut 10ga mild steel and fits 1967-'72 Chevy and GMC Pickups, Suburbans and panels and is 100% bolt on using holes already in your firewall. The booster side of the bracket has a 3 3/8" x 3 1/2" hole pattern. Boosters with this pattern are commonly found on S10's and full size pickups, Suburbans, Blazers and Tahoes from 1988 to at least 1998. Of course you will have to join the booster pushrod to your stock MC pushrod that attaches to your brake pedal. This can be done by either threading both ends and using a coupling nut, or by just welding them together once you determine the correct length.

I have had the original version ('63-'66) of this bracket on my '66 Suburban and have driven over 120,000 miles with no issues. I have also installed these on a couple of local pickups with good results as well. If you are wanting to add hydroboost to your pickup, Suburban or Panel I also offer a mounting plate for the hydroboost HERE

The price on the bare steel brackets is $55.00 plus a flat $13.60 shipping in the US. If you are located elsewhere contact me for shipping charges. You can also get this bracket in a satin black powder coat for an additional $9.00. Mounting hardware is included. To place an order and for payment information either send me a PM here on the forum or email me at captainfab454@hotmail dot com

I'm adding power brakes on my 68...i have a 68 booster, but if i use your bracket, would i need one an 88 and up booster?

Captainfab 02-07-2017 01:08 AM

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 
No you do not HAVE TO use a '88-'98 booster. There are many, many, many compatible boosters most of which are listed in post #218 of this for sale thread. An even more expanded list of compatible boosters is included with every booster bracket.

If you are staying with a drum/drum braking system, then I would use the '68 booster and master. If you are upgrading to a disc/drum braking system, I would choose a different booster and master. Also you do not have to use the master that originally came on a given booster. You just need to use one that is compatible with both your braking system and the booster. The early boosters such as your '68 booster, have the long intermediate pushrod for a master with a deep bore master piston. The later model boosters use a short intermediate pushrod for the shallow bore master pistons. That is basically just a dimple in the back of the piston.

Finally got to a computer only to notice that this won't fit column shift applications. I was wondering how the Lokar linkage would fit.

Thank you for the help though.

Captainfab 02-08-2017 01:53 AM

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 
This bracket will work with a column shift if you use a booster smaller than 10".

I'll get back to finish reading the rest of this thread, but I'm looking to add Booster/Master to my 1960 Suburban and I have a 3 speed column shift. It looks like GoNuts accomplished the conversion with an 8" aftermarket booster.

Any info on what would be the rest of the mods? How does it connect to brake pedal and any mods necessary on the steering column? And of course what year, brand, etc do I look for? I'm guessing I'll need a two or three bladder unit for 8".

Once I get that figured out, I'll get my order placed, what's the total on the brackets and what's the shipping time to Kansas?

Thanks!!!

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 
'67-'72 booster bracket is not going to work on your '60 Suburban. You are going to need the '60-'62 booster bracket with the hydraulic clutch in this thread.

http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...d.php?t=362375

In addition to those boosters listed in post #1 of each for sale thread, there is a listing elsewhere referenced in post #1, of compatible boosters. Also an expanded list comes with every booster bracket.

There are 3 ways to extend the booster pushrod using the original pushrod to reach the pedal. You can cut and weld, cut and thread and use a coupling nut, or cut and use a sleeve and pin method.

I didn't catch that this was a 67-72 booster bracket. So, on 60 bracket I can have column shift? Guess I need to go reread again.....

That thread is linking the bracket with clutch booster. I have an automatic. I searched for a thread with the booster for the 60 with auto and had no luck. I'm sure there is one out there if you have that link. Never the less if you have those and they'll work I'm interested in getting one shipped to kansas depending on how quickly I'd get it. I'm hoping to pull motor today and want to start cleaning up and prepping the engine bay and redoing the brakes while she's out.
