Hi Guys

Has anyone put a booster from CCP in a truck?

I need some help with installing a power brake booster in my 55 1st serie 1/2 ton Chevy truck. The Booster is from CCP. The booster is right now mounted on the frame but the rod that comes out the booster/cylinder that needs to be connected with the brakepadelarm doesn't meet the arm right. It kinda comes from an angle and I don't trust to just put a bolt through to connect it. The original rod from the cylinder is screwed on a U-joint which is mounted with the brakepadelarm. Hope to send a picture if that doesn't make sence.

Hy Bernd, I have installed two of these units so far, I'm not sure who the supplier was [ supplied to me by customers ]. I had to modify both of the mounting brackets, I had to cut the mounting feet off of both of them to make them fit properly, one was on a 52 one ton and the other was a 49 half ton. The frames on these trucks constantly taper from back to front, and it looks like the brackets are made to work on frame rails that are parallel. AS far as the attachment to the pedal I had to use a spacer between the hiem joint and the pedal arm, hope that helps.

I have posted pictures of what it took to get the CPP bracket to fit. Click on the link below, then "54 GMC", then "Front suspension". It's toward the bottom of the page.
