Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Nov 2008 Posts: 98 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Nov 2008 Posts: 98 | So i have been cooking up some ideas about how i'm gonna put a power brake booster and dual master on my 62 with the hydraulic clutch.i've got a couple ideas bangin around my head, but would like to see what my fellow bolters have tackled this problem. i know some of the aftermarket suppliers sell bolt on units for like a million bucks,i'm more interested in some "homemade" solutions.....Mark | | | | | Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 159 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 159 | 62 Mark,
I used the master cylinder and booster from a 73-78 K series truck.Made my own brackets to mount to the firewall ,I also used the proportioning valve since I have disc brakes on the front.
In the works 2006 GEN III 6.0 /4L80E/ 205 New process,A/C and power brakes .

It's not that I'm lazy, I just figured my time is worth something, and when figuring my time plus the parts scrounging plus the "engineering" to make it work, I couldn't justify doing it myself. I love scrounging and DIY, but not in that case.
One solution for you would be to convert to '63-up mechanical clutch linkage, but you'll need a later bellhousing too.
