Outstanding build. I see a lot of love and a lot of dollar signs.

With your hydroboost you had a little issue with rod length (I did too), but did you at all change the location of the factory hole where the rod connects to the pedal? The reason I ask is because I didn't either, and although I haven't been able to try my brakes yet, a lot of conversion guides and posts suggested that hydroboost pedals mount a little differently than stock ones, and many ended up welding tabs and or drilling a new hole on their factory pedals for a ratio that is more suited for hydroboost.

Here's a thread where it's discussed: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=658227

Also, did you just use a factory grommet between your HB and the firewall? Mine would not fit and I ended up doing something custom that I am not really happy with.

Thanks Will. It's funny because I have been looking into this for the past couple weeks. From what I find, I should be good with my existing Brake pedal. It has 2 holes already in it. The pin is in the lower hole, so my plan was to try and push the pin out and weld it in the upper hole. Yes, the rod off the Booster is a little short, but I have already decided to cut the end off, weld on an extension and thread it to allow for some fine tuning adjustment. As for the grommet, I'm just not there yet. Only mounted the Booster for mock up so far. But it is on the list. What did you do? Any pics?
