Howdy all,

I am finally pulling everything apart. Pictures to follow!


I want to completely replace my single circuit boosted brake system with a hydroboosted (powered from the PS pump) double circuit system.

Does anyone have a suggestion as to which master cyl/hydrobooster would work ok with the 55 F-600 double-cyl rear brakes and single-piston front brakes?

I am planning to mount the MC/booster under the floor with the reservoir on the firewall.....but I can also do a hanging pedal if it won't fit.



Anyone been there/done that??

 

Um...hello test......


Added some new pictures too. removed cab and set the engine in the chassis to measure for building engine and transmission mounts.

 

Wasn't there some discussion on this about a year ago? My thoughts are that a hydoboost assembly from a school bus or a medium truck that has roughly the same brake piston diameter as the brake piston on the old remote booster used on your truck would be a good match. I do not have the specs for the hydroboost used in the GM 4500 and 5500 trucks, but it might be s good starting point.

 

Yeah I think you're right.

I haven't found any parts from one of those yet.

I am thinking that I might be able to just use an MC from a 3/4 or 1T truck.

I also think I'll probably have to use some sort of proportioning valve to make it all work right......
