'60-'62 Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket

[Captainfab]

The only way I know of to narrow the track width would be with shorter upper and lower control arms. I don't know if anyone makes them for the '73-'87 truck suspension. IMO it would be easier and less $$ to just get wheels with the correct backspacing. Even if you had to have them made.

Is there any way I can shorten the front "axle" because I know that the '73 is longer than my orig. front by 1.5'?

Want to put decent tires with nice width and dont want rub...

Thanks again for the PM about the chassi swap('61 to '73).....

Just got my bracket in the mail today very nice I would recommend this to anyone wanting power brakes....

[Captainfab]

Thanks Ryan

I'm glad you're pleased with it.

Here's a different variation of this bracket. jbgroby asked me for one of these, so while I was at it I made two incase someone else wants one. This is for adapting a manual brake dual reservior master cylinder to your '60-'62 Chevy or '60-'63 GMC while converting to an automatic transmission.This plate is laser cut from .250 steel and has two studs welded into it to mount the master cylinder. This is the same price as the one for the power brake booster which is $55.00 plus a flat $10.00 for shipping.

Currently I have just this one in stock, but If you want one after this one is gone, it will just take a few days to get one ready to ship.

I have a 63 GMC that came with a manual tranny and the dual reservior (like the 60-62). I am switching to an auto so I ordered a booster assembly for a 60-62 from CPP but the holes in thier booster bracket are .5" wider than the holes in the firewall. Would your bracket work on my truck? I also have a steering column support bracket and it looks like it might be in the way.

[Captainfab]

The aftermarket boosters and brackets like that are more or less universal units. They are not specific to these trucks, so you will have to drill holes to be able to bolt them up. The booster brackets that I make are specific to the different years of firewalls so that they bolt up using the factory holes. No drilling of the firewall required. If you're referring to the steering column support on the engine side of the firewall, my bracket does not interfere with that. Let me know if you would like one.

Hey Capt Fab, I have a 62 that I added a power booster out of a 72 years ago, never was happy with the way I did it, will the 72 booster work with your bracket ??

[Captainfab]

The '67-'72 boosters will work, but you will have to elongate the holes slightly. Those boosters have a slightly different mounting stud pattern than the ones my bracket is designed around.

I replied to your PM.

Hey John, I just ordered the one for the 63-66 the other day,but now I'm gonna need the 61 model, no clutch. Buying a 61 apache.

This statement was made in the thread for the 63-66 brackets...Does it apply for this style bracket as well?


"Boosters with this pattern are commonly found on S10's and full size pickups, Suburbans, Blazers and Tahoes from 1988 to at least 1998."

[Captainfab]

Yes, all of my booster brackets are designed to accept the same style of booster. Let me know when you're ready to order one.
