What rule says you have to mount the power unit in the same place as the old manual one? Many of the ones we mount are anywhere from a foot behind the factory mounts to just in front of the rear end. This means all that has to go through the clutch/brake/ shift linkage is a small rod. On ones with a long distance between pedal pivot and booster plunger we use a bell crank so the long section of the rod is PULLING and the short pusher rod runs between bell crank and booster. There is also a "remote mount power brake unit" where the booster unit can be ANYWHERE, even in the glove box if that's your wish. The factory master cylinder has a line to a slave cylinder on the booster which works just like a hydraulic clutch set up. If you don't want to crawl under the truck to fill the MC then use a remote firewall mounted reservoir. Don't search for hens teeth---be creative. No rule... just making note of what's available and SUPPOSEDLY the easiest to install. But only if you have an automatic transmission, apparently.

Don't sweat the petty things, and don't pet the sweaty things. Never play leap-frog with a Unicorn. 2 Wrongs don't make a right, but 3 lefts do. Of all the Henges, Stone is my favorite. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you. Here's a word I just made up.....Plagiarism.
