brake booster promblem
Hi ive been reading on here that there are several differnt brake boosters and pedals, what i am looking for is, a booster with a longer pedal rod. what i have is a 79 F250 4X4 w/o cruise control booster. the truck was a automatic and im converting it to a manual. the pedals that i installed, are a unknown year. The only thing stopping me from hooking it up is the booster pedal rod. I am going to need a booster with a longer rod. any help on what year of truck to use would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks
Alan

I'll do my best to help. I did this on my 77 about two years ago I can't remember exactly how it worked so bear with me. I think I used the automatic bracket with the manual pedals or vice versa. But I know that the brake pedal rides on the same shaft as the clutch pedal now and I didn't have to make any adjustments to the brake booster or rod.
I also forgot to add this is my converted truck that I'm using a dodge hydraulic master cylinder. So this may be of no help.
