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.
