Increased braking power. It makes the foot feed back feel more like "power" brakes (mine always felt kind of manual). Just so you know, though, both my trucks with dual diaphragms reduced the pedal travel. Some people might not like that-I didn't mind.

Got the booster on tonight. Wow what a difference! I probably shouldn't have been driving it before. Lol. I'll post pics tomorrow. Tonight I took a before picture of the interior gonna try and tackle some of that tomorrow after I go shooting in the morning. Woohoo!
Also. Has anyone made a custom grill for our trucks? I want to do something different and was thinking if making a single grill in my new grill frame instead of two sides. I was going to make it a billet style and make my own housing for the headlights.

Lol ya night and day difference! It drove great today and only died twice and both times it was because the first in line fuel filter (the glass one I posted pics of) was clogged full of rust! I emptied it out both times and I'm sure the bumpy rocky road didn't help. Is there anything else I can do to help the rust or just continue to clean filters until it has all come out?

Ok picture time, I didn't get much done as the booster took longer than I thought and I ran out of daylight, but here are the few I did snap.
The red truck is my father in law's 65 2WD shortbed. It has a 460 out of a 70's something continental and a T18. He did a bunch of rust removal as it came from Colorado and the road salt hadn't been too kind. He's helping me do body work right now if he gets bored enough.

This is the new booster installed. I would have liked to have painted it black first but I didn't have time. Install was actually easier than removal since the old nuts were rusted in pretty good. Valve cover gaskets got here and I got Ford Racing Blue high heat paint so I think those will be next. I have to figure out the fuel filter/rust issue as well since stalling from fuel starvation every 20 miles or so isn't really that much fun...

the interior is on my to do list. I took some before pictures. There isn't that much damage as it's just old and dirty. When I bought it the guy cleaned out a bunch of trash that had accumulated in it. The only damage is to the seat back where the sun has eaten it. The dash mat is in great shape just dusty. I have a seat cover and some carpet to put in and I ordered some door panels from LMC, I also got new window regulators and dooor handles from Rockauto.com The window seals are in decent shape so I won't do those right away.
