I have purchased one and what I have found is that they mount by drilling two new holes in my firewall (suppose to use two existing holes as well).
It is actually built by classic performance products. A call to them confirmed that the product I have is correct. They did say that I could manufacture my own brackets that bolt to the booster itself but that will be a lot of work that I am not convinced I want to do.
This thing looks great and I can't wait to get it on my truck, just want to make sure that I have looked at all my options. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 132 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 132 | Yes I did it on my 65. Bought the kit from POL. Sounds like the same type of kit. Mine works great and it wasn't that difficult to install.

I am going out to the garage to put mine in. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2013 Posts: 33 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Apr 2013 Posts: 33 | Let us know how it works out. I just bought a '66 and may want to give that try. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 220 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 220 | Went very easy.
I did have to drill two holes however with careful measuring I was able to keep the holes on the inside bracket.
I am getting closer to my start up after a few years so I am looking forward to seeing how it works out. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 725 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 725 | For future reference, the power brake setup from any 1/2T or 3/4T 1967 - 1972 will bolt right up back to at least 1963.

That may not matter, to most, as long as it works properly, but if you want the correct appearance, the year-specific booster, is the only answer.
