Frame mounted brake booster in 56

I started out with the idea of adding AC to the 56 I purchased but it seems I keep finding problems from the previous owner/builder. I found the front brake lines were looped under the frame (hanging down about 2") so I re-routed them. Then upon further investigation found the homemade bracket holding the power booster was poorly welded to the frame and the pedal was binding so I cut it all out. Now I'm looking for an aftermarket frame mounted bracket and pedal. Has anyone purchased and installed a complete setup? If so, what brand did you use and did it bolt in? Thanks for the help.

Larry

I got one from bobs f100 and it works great. there are plenty of people that sell them so you shouldnt have any problems locating them. Oick up an issue of classic truck magazine, or custom classic truck magazine, there are alot of vendors that advertise them
