46 Chevy COE brake options - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Google searches have come up lacking info on this. Looking at what options I have for power brakes on this COE. I know firewall mounted booster/MC is out of the question because of clearance with the hood. I would rather not use an under dash unit if at all possible. Would a hydroboost unit and MC work? Currently the truck has a frame mounted booster/MC installed by the previous owner but I intend to make the cab tilt so this option has to change.

If you cannot mount the MC to the firewall, then you best bet is a frame mount. As far as hydroboost, yes, a regular master cylinder can be mounted to it.
