Who's would you recommend? Bolt in of course, no cutting up the truck. Open drive line SM 430 transmission. 15 inch wheels....235 engine. Thanks ! | | | | | Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 1,705 back yard wrench turner | | back yard wrench turner Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 1,705 | 15 inch wheels may be an issue. I had to do some grinding on my calipers to make 16's fit without rubbing.
Several suppliers have kits. I put my own together through my FLAPS.

There are many "kits" out there but which will work and bolt in? We were told a booster would need engine vacuum where would we pull that from? Do we need a booster?

Thanks I put under the floor master-cylinder in my 1953 Howard Knapp truck....I have a ton pictures on my photo bucket page...I would go with one that mounts to the firewall..they are a pain to bleed them with the master cylinder under the floor...I had to cob up a door in the floor pan so I could bleed them...CPP has a decent bolt in kit...they don't stock much tho...be prepared for a 3 or 4 week wait time for it to arrive... Yes I picked up vacuum from the intake manifold... New vintiques steel wheels will clear the calipers...they are 15" that I used... I hope this helps you out... Mike

Thousands of them sold and installed with few if any complaints. The under hood option is easy to do and hanging the pedal(s) is pretty straight forward.
