Has anyone been able to mount a power brake booster on the frame where original master cylinder would go? I am running the factory 8 lug drive train with front disk brakes and rear self adjusting brake drums off of a express van.

Did it on a 1953 with a kit from Classic Parts. Expensive though.🛠

I was looking at pirate jack for a universal kit. Did you use a single or dual diagram booster?

Do you remember how big the brake booster was?

I’m not sure but I think 7-8 inches. It was the common kit sold by all the aftermarket guys. 🛠
