This for sale thread is for the '63-'66 standard booster bracket. This will not work on a '67-'72. You will need this booster bracket if you are looking for a standard booster bracket as opposed to the booster bracket with the hydraulic clutch conversion.

CaptainFab,

I recently purchased a 1965 Suburban with standard master cylinder (front disc/rear drum) and I was looking to upgrade the brake system to a power booster setup. I was curious if you knew if I'm able to use the OEM style booster setup (front disc/rear drum) off of my 1968 C-10 in conjunction with your bracket setup on my new 65?

I replied to your PM.

Just what I needed! PM incoming.

Captainfab,

Received bracket, got it mocked up, painted and installed. Worked out perfect! Only thing I had to do was leave bracket to firewall little bit loose until booster was installed to front of bracket and then fully tighten firewall bolts. This way it didn't cause the outer metal to booster to spring outwards pulling bolt holes farther apart. Fits my 67-72 booster/master cylinder setup perfectly!

Thanks again for a premium made piece!

Thank you for the feedback and the compliment

seeking some input on the right booster to use with this bracket. its a 71 C10 LWB with a blown LS3....kinda need good brakes.

I have a 93 s10 reman booster now which seems to be either bottoming out at ~1/4 pedal throw, or is not strong enough to be of any assistance past that point. The pedal feels like its assisted to that point, then feels like manual brakes where you have to truly stand on it to get additional stopping force.

booster is currently a 93 s10 4.3 V6, Cardone 54-71152....10.8" single booster
Master is a Wilwood 1 1/8" w/adjustable prop valve...currently back all the way off....still getting strong force to the rear since the rear rotors are so large
front c5 calipers w/14" rotors
rear mustang calipers w/14" rotors
electronic vacuum pump, known working well and pulls about 28"Hg
stainless lines
fresh fluid and both standard bled and reverse bled(previously thought i had air)

The calipers come on their respective cars with a 15/16" master...so i understand that the pedal will be harder than 'stock' because of the increased master size....was trying to limit the long pedal i was getting with the 15/16" master.

Any input would be helpful. will not go with hydroboost....want to stay vacuum. Is there a chance mine is bad? go do larger or dual 9" booster? ANythign ic an do to futher troubleshoot?

How did you lengthen the booster pushrod? Could the pushrod be binding or rubbing on something?

I cut the round portion off the booster, then threaded it and use a 2" threaded coupling along with the manual pushrod...makes for a slip joint but still keeps it aligned which allows me to adjust the length without much trouble.

There was a sheet of paper which came with the bracket....had the applicable options for the boosters....would any one of them be better suited than the single 10.8"

A dual diaphragm booster is always better than a single diaphragm, but I do not know if that will solve your issue. I gather that you did not have this issue with the 15/16" bore master?

I have been chasing an underperforming braking system since installing the rotors and calipers. I started with the 15/16" master, but was getting this long travel and nearly no strong breaking. So i moved to the 1 1/8" to make up what i understood to be a volume vs pedal travel issue....but the pedal is performing the same but at a shorter travel than before.....so now ill try a dual 10.9 booster and see what happens.

I am at a loss but ill get there I guess....just keep throwong money at it right lol

hoping to get the booster on this weekend....its a parts store Duralast 54-71046....dual 10.9", from a 93 2500 w/vacuum assist.

i'll report back on how it works out for me.

[rcodea]

I am happy to say that i have corrected the issue. The single 10.9 wasnt enough assist. the dual 10.9....worked like a champ!

now i just need to let the brakes bed in a bit and start adjusting the prop valve.

O hope this helps someone else out down the road.
