Re: '71 C30 Flatbed Budget Restomod

So after hours of hacking up the factory brakes to fit behind the York compressor, both the master cylinder and booster decided to go kaput at a really inconvenient time. Naturally, this is an excuse to upgrade another part of the truck.

With the help of some threads on here I was able to convert to a Hydroboost setup off a 99 Silverado. I managed to snag lines and all off a junk truck and it made for a very simple install for the most part. Just knocked the studs out of the hyrdroboost bracket, drilled some new holes and slid it in place onto the firewall. The clevis rod needed to be extended and the hole on the firewall enlarged a bit but nothing too bad at all.

Only problem now is the lack of ABS while I get used to this new braking power
