That's good to know. My pedal was higher than I liked when I first installed... and there wasn't enough adjustment to move it where It felt correct. I ended up taking the pedal back out of the truck, applying heat and adjusting the pedal lever to the correct position. I hated doing that to the powder coat, but after I repainted, it looks good. Feels much better also.

I do find mine a little high too more so in my pickup because I can't but the seat back as far as I can in my panel..I'm used to it though, my highway driving and not on the brake so much...lol

All the brake lines have been replaced and the air has been bled from the system! The lines from the master cylinder were very time consuming! I am glad that is behind me😀

That`s the same brake booster and master cylinder kit I used on my 53 resto rod. Where did you buy it and what did it cost? I got mine from Mid Fifties, it was $299 US funds but by the time I got in Canada with shipping ($175) it cost $550 Canadian, the exchange is about 35%.

I hope not... or I did it wrong!
Why do you think so?Edit: I called Mid Fifties and they verified that the rear port of the MS/Prop valve is for the rear brakes.
