Re: Brake booster push rod

Ol BlueI actually was in the store about that same time picking up something else, but didn’t even think about the push rod as I was so frustrated after the previous two stops.

I’ll post up a pic of the garbage in there now. PO was pretty surprised when I showed him what his “mechanic” improvised for the power brake upgrade. The guy claimed to love old trucks and work on several of his own. Unfortunately that is one reason I move away from old cars and trucks going down the road, a lot are lipstick on a pig or just plain unsafe. Did I mention I just discovered this same mechanic also failed to put a nut on the steering shaft to keep the wheel on?! Looked like he fouled up and cross threaded the puller and cross threaeded a 1/2x18 nut on the first couple threads. Some guys should not be allowed near tools.
