We have a 87 crew cab that we pulled the motor out of and the truck is still at the house, so my plan is to pull the booster, pedal assy and the mounting plate off the truck before we scrap it. That way I will have everything that I might need. I know the master cylinder will need some revamping because we are going to use disc brakes all around and the truck had drums on the rear, but I can deal with that. Here's my idea though. I have seen some Hot Rods with the booster mounted under the dash sideways and I was going to give that a try. I haven't looked yet to even see if there is enough room or not so I might try that this weekend. I have the ability to fab up anything I might need so that won't be a problem either. It would take some sort of direction changer. The only problem would be if it leaked then it would drip on the floor instead of on the ground. I don't know if it will even work but it was just a thought coming out of my crazy mind...lol.
