Gary, Thanks for the measurement. I have thought about rebuilding the pedal bracket to move the booster mount forward. I may just do that in the end. I currently have the truck 95 percent assembled for sheet metal fitup . I plan to blow it back apart this summer. With it down to the full chassis and knowing your dimensions, I will either replace the booster or move/rebuild the bracket that I built. I have to maintain the pedal pivot at the same location since I am using the stock pedal itself and the same thru the floorboard oval hole. The bracket that I built is currently just tacked to the frame.

Its a big pin I bought from mid-fifty for using the brake without the clutch pedal and linkage. Has a large head on one side and nut/cotter on the other end.

I've got an extra that came with my brake kit. Its yours for the cost of shipping if you want it.

If you went mid-fifty I hope they don't screw you on shipping like they did me. It was and will be the last time I order from them. Thirty dollar part and $15 for shipping. When I called to question it all I got was a verbal shoulder shrug.

Power Booster Bracket Trouble
Greetings,
I am now getting ready to install the same booster, etc from CPP in my F-1 so this is all very informative. Looking at the photo of actual installation and the rear of the C-4, my question is how did you support the rear of the C-4?
Did you leave the original cross member in ?? If so did you have to modify or cut it??
Thanks

Yea they can be steep sometimes on shipping. I always get a shipping quote first before i commit the order due to them trying to hit me with a big price for shipping on an order once.

There is a rubber mount on the universal cross member and I had to use 2" spacers to raise the rear of the tranny up so the engine sat level.
Good luck.

Greetings and thanks for the response. Your pictures are excellent. I have gone down the same road as you; front end rebuild, disc brakes, Ford 9", and '71 302 and C-4, new rear springs, original front ones. I am just now getting ready to put the brake booster in and then the engine/tranny.
I notice you didn't use headers. What exhaust manifolds did you use? The stock ones on mine woudl not clear the steering column.
Thanks again
