would the factory master Cylinder from a 74 Chevy Pickup with power brakes be a good one to use? i have one from my Parts truck, and i am using the 74 Front suspension and rear end. I have the s10 Booster. so what i guess im asking is with the 74C10 MC work with the S10 Booster...

Captainfab 03-15-2015 11:45 PM

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 
Yes the '74 master cylinder will bolt up and work with the S10 booster.

Would I be able to use a booster from a 2001 suburban?

Captainfab 03-18-2015 11:10 PM

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 
I can not say for certain as I have not had my hands on one that new, but I am thinking it should work. Have you pulled it off yet? If it has 4 mounting studs, odds are it will work.

I will be pulling it off today. What measurements would you like so you could add this information to your database to help you sell these things. You helped me out tremendously with the impala brackets and power steering bracket. It is the least I can do.

Captainfab 03-19-2015 11:50 PM

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 
If it has a mounting stud pattern of 3.375" x 3.50" center to center, it will fit my booster brackets, and I will update the compatible boosters list.

want to add power brakes to my 62 don't like the bearing that are used in 62 can I use 64/66 hubs, spindels even A arms if nessary don't want to change complete crossmember. and then add the power brake booster?
Thank you.

Captainfab 04-28-2015 11:50 PM

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 
I believe you can use the '63-'70 hubs, but that would be all you could use. I am not that familiar with the '60-'62 front suspension since I am not a fan of them. You might post this question in the '60-'66 discussion forum.

Will you need the booster bracket for use with an auto trans or the one with the hydraulic clutch? And in bare steel or satin black powder coat?

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 
I just bought another 64 short bed and planning on putting on power brakes. Captainfab, I know you have probably answered this question many times before, but I couldn't find the answer on here. You say a booster for a 1970 Impala and a mc for a 1970 Buick station wagon will work to convert to drum power brakes. Will the mc for the 1970 Impala work since it is a match for the booster? I think that mc is much cheaper than the Buick. I saw on O'reilly's website that a booster/master cyl combo was $106 for the 1970 Chevy.Thanks.

Captainfab 09-18-2015 11:55 PM

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 
There are many, many different brake boosters that will work with my booster brackets. The B body (Impala, Caprice, etc.) boosters are one of those. If you plan to one day convert to front disc brakes, I would use a booster with the short intermediate pushrod and the '70 Buick Estate wagon master or one like it, designed for drum/drum brakes. I do not know if the '70 Impala master cylinder is for drums/drums or if it has just a dimple in the back of the piston for the short intermediate pushrod.

If you plan to keep your drum brakes all around, then the '67-'70 truck booster and master combination would be my recommendation.

You do not have to use the exact master cylinder that came on a given booster. You just need to use the same style that the booster is designed for. Specifically the short or long intermediate pushrod.

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 
Thanks for the reply. I just thought that since the booster and mc were a matched set for the Impala that it would work no matter what the rod type was. In the pictures of a booster for the impala, it looks like the rod protrudes out past the surface of the booster which would make the matching mc have more than a dimple. That's why I wondered how the Buick mc would work with the Impala booster. Unless the picture everyone has of that booster is not the actual booster.I understand what you are saying about converting to disc in the future. I don't plan on it. I have found that adding a booster to drum brakes is all I need. I am planning on a power steering upgrade also. When I am ready I will get the brake and steering adapter from you. Thanks for your help.

Captainfab 09-19-2015 11:23 PM

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 
If the '70 Impala has the option of drum/drum brakes, then that booster and master combo will work fine for your application.

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 
quick question, what brake pushrod do you use? I have a manial brake setup for a 71?
thanks
phillip

Captainfab 10-14-2015 11:52 PM

Re: Power Brake Booster Adapter Bracket
 
The easiest is to trim both your original pushrod and the booster pushrod to the correct length and either weld them together or join them by threading and using a coupling nut or a sleeve and pin method.
