Beautiful pickup you have there! I used CPP dropped spindles and rotors. The master, booster and calipers were over the counter parts with a prop valve from salvage yard '75 C10.

What were the master, booster and calipers for --- year and model??

Very nice truck. Yes I would say you are lucky to find that one.

What booster to use depends on how you want to mount it and whether you are going with an auto trans or a manual with the hydraulic clutch. If you use one of my booster brackets there are many, many compatible boosters. In addition to those listed in the for sale thread, every booster bracket comes with a list of compatible boosters including part numbers and applications. For the master, you can choose from most any '71-'87 master. The calipers will be from the same application.

Thanks Captain for the response --- read a bunch of posts including yours on brackets --- prob gonna leave it stock six with three on column with hydraulic clutch for now --- linkage and shifting still really good , only 53,000 miles ----- been sitting outside for a lot of years --- hence the patina. Will be ordering your bracket after I get it home and prob have to use Blazer booster as it's smaller to be able to keep orig linkage. I used your power steering bracket on my 66 Suburban..

Thanks ---- made me drool too when I found it --- couldn't believe all trim intact. Only way it could have been better would be a big back window😄😎✌🏻
Not complaining --- Just sayin!!!

Love this truck!

Congrats on finding one with all the trim still in place!

burban you will never be satisfied with that small window ... I think your best option is to ship that old small window truck to va. and find the bbw that you really want......just sayin LOL.

The booster was a dual diaphragm unit from a '78 Malibu, master cylinder and calipers are from a '75 C10. Again, that truck is awesome, enjoy it!
