69 guy here with frame mount booster ?s

[Drewski23]

Im curious since i havent gotten a response on the 67-72 board and i know you guys use the frame mount boosters alot more.

The first picture is the kit i am considering and the others are of my truck. As you can see ill have to snake the exhaust but my main concern is what i will do with the parking brake cables.

as far as i know the master cylinder has to be higher than the wheel cylinder and brake lines. No problem with this either?

are you after a smooth firewall? our trucks came with a frame mount mc.
you can buy a kit or make one, it's an easy fab job to make your own.
i have a frame mounted hydroboost on my 58 all self fabbed with stock 58 pedal and an 03 mustang hydroboost.
we also have a lot of room beneath our frames to run the exhaust as the steps hang below the frame.
you can solve this by mounting the pedal and running a heim joint back to the mc mounted further back on the frame.

we get around the low mc by installing in-line residual check valves; 10 psi for drum and 2 psi for disc brakes.

check orrieg's build too, he mounted the mc further back and used the heim joint.

I don't have a welder or anything to really fabricate with so i should probably buy it lol. About half way down the page here i think i may have solved my problem. The ones with the really long push rod are what i am talking about.

I do see a hydroboost one in there and since i am planning on running a 383 with a big cam for power i might want to consider going to hydroboost to save me from spending my money twice on a booster. Will there be additional modification required to go to the hydroboost? All I know about them is that i will have to T into the return line

i wouldn't bother, you'd be wasting your time and money.
nothing will bolt in, you'll still need to fabricate brackets.

Here's mine.
the front bracket and pedal are an after market kit. The rear bracket I made.
The hydro-boost is from a 2005 chevy truck.

do you remember where you got the pedal and bracket by chance?

Not sure where he got his but I used a similar one I purchased from Speedway Motors. If I remember right they had a few different styles.

Note the beefy extended push rod to the booster. That is an absolute must to keep it from flexing. Good stuff there, that may be what my truck needs.

Cool thanks ill give them a call. As far as the cables im probably going to go with the hand brake under dash set up from lokar...clean up the cables on the frame while routing them out of the way of the booster at the same time.
