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

 

Is the brake pedal different from what was in your '79 ?

 

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.

 

yes i found out that the 78 79 booster/pedals were 2 inchs shorter 73-77 booster im told will work with my pedals will find out tomarrow this is a 5.9 conversion truck that im using 96 z-f 5sp and master cyl with the old pedals that part is working great now get booster hooked up and be golden thanks for all the help guys

 

Why not go with a hydroboost setup? I'm working on that now should provide much more stopping power.
