Has anyone used one of these set ups?

I used one similar but it reuses the original brake pedal. Pictures on my website link below.

 

Those are nice addition to your truck, be sure to also purchase a remote fill for the master cylinder. When those are installed the master cylinder winds up under the seat area of the floor.

 

If you read the ebay description they comment on another heavier duty assembly...for a brake pedal assembly these units are pretty lightweight, I prefer the TCI setup using the stock pedal arm.

 

I would like to have a combo, brake and clutch. What's a hot rod without rowing through the gears???

 

I bought one, but haven't gotten to the point of installing it yet. It's made over-seas(China or Taiwan-I don't remember). It seems OK, but then again it's for your brakes. We'll see how it goes.

 

8b,...............Who, what, where, and how much???????????

With the excellent Bendix self energizing brakes on the 53 and later
F-100 and F250s there is no brake booster needed. With disc brakes with a little engineering there is also no brake booster needed. I made a post with links to a "Hot Rod Heaven" web site which shows you how to do it on an underfloor system. Check my earlier posts from up to two years ago. That is the way I and many hot rodders do our disk brakes. The only reason I have to use disk brakes on my last build, a '53 F-250 4 x 4 is because the front axle has disks on it. It is a '77 Ford Dana 44 High Pinion front axle with cross steering. Oh, I might add that a 6" booster which is about the largest size that will fit under floor is too small for a standard disk master cylinder unless the piston size has been reduced in the disk portion to below 1" diameter. If you do an underfloor brake booster, make sure it is from Stainless teel Brakes or bought from Mid Fifties in AZ where the owner can give you help himself.
