power brake booster?

The Early Broncos that came from the factory with power brakes have an "indention" in the drivers wheel well that provides the necessary space for the booster. If you do a conversion you must either reconfigure your wheel well or do what most people do on this conversion and just whack your wheel well with a sledge a few times and "dent to clear". Sounds bad but I'm serious. Good luck.

thanks for the responce, kinda what i thought when i got into it. did not wack my baby with a sledge hammer though. sectioned the wheel house, welded in a cup, undercoating and paint and she looks factory. think the hardest part was finding all the needed fittings for the brake lines.
