I put disc brakes from CPP for my 1952 GMC. also decided to upgrade Master cylinder to dual resevoir. Looked like a semi-easy job....Bolted the adapter plate to the frame and the the MC to the adaptor plate. Pedal doesn't line up.....just doesn't look right. On the pic. that CPP gives me the frame rail is straight at the point where the MC bolts on. MINE has a permanent piece that sort of angles out from the frame. The bolt holes line up but that's ALL that does. Trying to get CPP's tech line is like Santa on Christmas Eve. Anyone had any experience withis upgrade??

I know that's right.

I cut my CPP bracket apart and rewelded it to fit the frame. I also had to tweak the brace bracket.

I have pictures of what I did here. Scroll down the page to the MC part.

Hey i just installed one on my truck. Heres the question i posted. Big jon h has some good pics. I noticed my mc was angled and higher than the frame but you can see in bigjonh setup it was the same. I had to move my cable braket to clear the booster and the booster bracet i has to trim a little so it would fit into the frame other than that pretgy easy especially with the cab off the frame
