My crew cab is a 4x4 and I put a 1976 front axl with disc brakes under the truck. Can anybody tell me what to do for a power booster and master cylinder.

 

Welcome aboard! Please post some pics of your crew - we love pics here & I personally, love crews! As to the booster & mc, my thought would be to use the one that matches the brakes - from the '76. Although, from what I've read here, most of these parts are interchangeable. Since I haven't messed with this myself (I've got a straight axle '63 going to a Crown Vic front end), I'll defer to NumberDummy, JoWilker and any other more senior guy who knows this stuff better. Again, welcome!

 

I pulled the power booster from the 76 and the push rod going to the brake pedal is 1'' longer. What do you think I should do? I will post pictures of my crew cabs sometime today.

Thanks

 

Shorten it, that's what I did.

 

I spaced my master brake bracket and booster out the 1 inch from the firewall. reason was i did not have the 9/16ths drill bit to drill another hole with.

 

I would be sure to measure the stroke of the two masters. You may need the extra stroke to stop A crewcab 4x. That, and, the increased leverage from putting it in the right spot on the pedal arm. Rich

 

Hey 66crew - where are those pics??? It's like truck **** - we need it!

 

I was thinking of that but wasn't sure if the stroke length would work.

 

Hey Rusty63,
Pics. are in my albums. Enjoy

 

Did you just cut and weld

 

Sweet ride! Other than discs, what're your plans for it?
