Brake Clevis
1 Attachment(s)
Installing the power brake booster on my 70 C10 and I'm not sure which clevis to connect to the pedal I need.
Purchased the U shaped clevis and when threaded on the push rod it is too short to connect to the pedal. The distance from the push rod to the pedal is 2". Do I need a longer push rod or a different clevis? The power brake booster came from POL. Thanks |
Re: Brake Clevis
I wouldn't trust that stamped steel clevis for any brake application.. Use the sturdy one already on your truck and purchase a rod of correct length.

Re: Brake Clevis
There wasn't one on the truck when I bought it, no I'm trying to figure out what I need.
Thanks |
Re: Brake Clevis
Many suppliers offer power brake booster/master cylinder "kits", an "all in one" kit that has all the parts needed to install power brakes.. I assume you're installing a brake booster where previously there was none.. Classic Industries offers this universal rod kit. I suspect it's not all you need as there is some additional linkage associated with making a conversion from non-power brakes..
https://www.classicindustries.com/pr...ts/154235.html About 3 years ago, I converted the non-power brakes on my '71 to vacuum booster assisted power brakes. I used this unit from Summit Racing.. The kit included everything I needed to make the conversion.. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-760197 |

That's a thought.
In doing more research, it seems this is the clevis to the pedal. My question will it be long enough to connect the rod to the pedal. Needs to be at least 2-2.5" long or do I need a different rod? |

The questions you're posting can only be answered by yourself.. Whoever you choose to provide the proper rod can give you the measurements you're asking about.. You're dealing with a very important safety system.. Don't try to use a hodge-podge of parts from various suppliers.. $175.00 for a well designed power brake unit is a very reasonable price.. Contact Summit, order the unit, install it and move on the next problem. |

It's a brand new complete system from Performance Online, just to the point of getting it installed and trying to figure out the correct way to connect push rod to the pedal.
