under floor brake dimension needed

I've decided to do an under floor booster/master combo with the stock style pedal for the next truck.. but I tossed the original pedal assembly.

can someone tell me where the master mounted, front to back, relative to rear edge of the cab mount arm?

my booster/master combo is 13inches long from the booster mounting surface.

Sam

Sam, I am planning to jack my truck up tomorrow to revisit a leaking rear tranny seal. If I get that far, I will get that measurement for you.

Here are pics I have on my computer of my bracket. This is the bracket mounted on the original brake assembly.

First pic the front of the truck is left to right.


You can see the cab mount arm in both pics...the front of the original brake assembly lines up with the little cut out for the mounting bolt on the mount arm.



Hope it helps...I would measure but I took my assembly off for now as I am cleaning and painting everything.


I am not sure if that was what you were looking for or not?

yes!!.. the second pic really is more what I was looking for..
how long is that bracket assembly? and how far out from the chassis is the far edge of the mount? (left edge in this picture)
that sure puts the master WAY back under the cab..

original assembly = 10.5" tip to tip
my booster and mc combo is 13.5" from the mounting bracket (which is about 1/4" or so itself)
Total length from tip of the front of the mount to to tip of the mc then is just slightly over 24" on mine

I have a late 70's (78 or so?) mustang II 8" dual diaphram booster and mc for reference...I don't know how long the more common GM ones are.

thanks I have the aftermarket 7in dual diaphragm booster and the corvette master.

and the bracket lines up with the front edge of that 1/2 circle on the cab mount arm, right?

I think it is about 6.5" from the inside edge of the top frame rail to the edge of the mount bracket.
