I'm going to use someones kit and go with power brakes. What company are you guys using and how did it work out? Thanks

 

POWER BRAKES ON THE FIREWALL!!!!!!!!!!

 

Mid Fifty offers such a kit. I think I might go with it as the stock ones are bad for leaking between the cylinder and the junction block

 

I use factory stuff, just about anything can be made to work.

 

I used factory stuff too...

I used a kit from Speedway on my 49, along with disks up front.

 

I bought the Performance On Line setup. At $289.99 it is $200.00 less that the same units from others. And the others look exactly like the POL unit without the decal. I haven't installed it yet. It and the MII front end are sitting in the bed awaiting my mechanic to install them.

I also bought this setup and it went on good. I also tied it in to the dash and will soon have the brake lines hooked up after I get done with the firewall.

 

I modified a 78 Chevy pickup pedal set, added the pendulum clutch pedal and pushed it all thru a classic industries double diaphragm 7" booster and reservoir. Can't remember who's clutch master I used.. drawing a blank there. Had to go slim on the booster due to the 496 shoe horned in there.

 

Curious on your paint EMAY do you have three different colors or is there that much flop in the paint ? On my truck I am also using a firewall mount my front and rear suspension are both 92 corvette so I am using the corresponding booster and master I had to modify the fire wall to get the proper angle on the resevor and with a little modding am using the corvette pedal assembly . Not a huge amout of work

 

I used the Classic Performance Products (CPP) firewall bracket and a Corvette MC/booster since I'm running 4 wheel disc brakes. Just got it working last week and really like it. The CPP firewall bracket is very well built!

 

On my 49 I built my own. I used a mid 90's Ford booster, an early 80's GM big car master cylinder. I fabbed my own hanging pedal assy utilizing some pieces (the pivot and spring) from a mid 90's Ford. For strength I tied the hanging brake pedal assy to the dashboard and the steering column


Good luck

Rear Fenders are still black Gelcoat right from manufacturer. Truck is 2 tone - Main color is light flake seafoam and the fenders/running boards are dark green. The hue changes a little when you walk the perimeter but it's not huge.

 

Ok its the back fenders that had me confused there is an obvious difference from the hood to fenders but the box appears to be closer to the fenders but that can be attributed to flop and angle most seafoams have a lot of pearl

 

I used the CPP hanging brake pedal assembly too in this build and on my panel
