Oct 7, 2023 Disc Brake Conversion Update - Well, I have been picking away at the truck, but haven't had much time to update lately. The other day I did a final fit up of the brake booster/master cylinder mounting bracket to drill holes in the frame and in the bracket.
In picture 1, the bracket is already drilled and bolted to the frame. Two attachment points on the vertical and two on the bottom horizontal of the c-channel frame by 3/8" bolts. In the picture I'm orientating the booster/master cylinder to mark where to drill those holes. The picture also somewhat shows the clearance of the rod to the transmission cross member. Picture 2 shows where I've taken some ready rod and threaded it into the long coupling that came with the kit to make sure I'm hitting the brake pedal correctly. Picture 3 shows that everything is lined up pretty darn close to center. It is a bit off from left to right, but not much. Finally picture 4 shows the height above the top of frame the booster sits. I'm between 1/2" and 5/8". From the measurements Phil (Phak1) gave me with the cab on his truck, I have between 1 3/4" and 1 5/8" space, so should be good.
Update will come in another post, but the frame is sandblasted along with the bracket. Once I get everything coated, I'll make one more post regarding the mounting of the disc brake conversion booster/master cylinder with all the dimensions of the bracket in case anyone finds it useful.
