I am trying to install a newer style brake cylinder on the firewall and have a set of instructions for a 47 1/2 ton but would like to know if the "ribs" and seams are even closely matched? Any idea's out there? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2001 Posts: 379 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2001 Posts: 379 | Believe confusion begins with the mid-year design change in '47. Quite a different truck than the Wurlitzers... | | | | | Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 96 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 96 | When I mounted the power booster on my 46 I made a doubler. Then I had to put a piece of angle alum on each side of the swing pedal bracket and then a piece of flat stock back to the dash from the top of the bracket to keep the firewall from flexing. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2000 Posts: 58 Member | | Member Joined: Apr 2000 Posts: 58 | besides a bracket to the dash, a large piece of 1/4" plate on the inside of the firewall will stiffen it considerably. | | |
