Well now that my power steering project is complete I intend to move on to my brakes next. Before anything I must say "THANKS" to this site and those who helped by answering my ??'s along the way. So my local parts store offers a brake booster for my 67 for 100 bucks with master cylinder. Will I find any problems along the way? I intend to keep my drum/drum set up any insite would be appreciated
thanks

A brake booster for a 67 for 100 bucks WITH the cylinder?!? And you're certain it's for a 67 and won't be too long?

What's the store's name and phone number?!

Well I'm not sure which is why I was looking for some info in here. I called both Napa and Auto Zone and they both offered booster with m/c. Any idea if it will work??

As long as they specify it's for a '67 only, and not '67-up, it should work. Since the brake pedal bracket is different on the '68-up trucks, what works for them won't work for a '67.

Yeah sounds to good to be true. I guess i go up there tomorrow and ask in person.
Thanks

but if it is for the 67, and you buy it be sure to post the part # so anyone else needing or looking can order by number.

Be sure you check out this page thoroughly... particularly point #5:

Of course, that may not be an issue if this booster has an ajustable pushrod.

I echo that on the part # if it is in fact for a 67!

i can get the brake booster from my parts store too with or without the master for about the same price. it is for a 67 only. but they have to order it. it will take a day to get here. http://www.autozone.com/servlet/UiBroke ... er+Booster

if this doesn't work for you it is cardone remanufactured. 50-3514 that is with the master for 93.99 plus the core charge of 45.00.

Interesting... I wonder how the Cardone's stack up to those made by Master Power? MP charges $300, but of course that includes the mounting bracket.

Maybe it's $100 for the cylinder and booster, and $200 for the bracket?

i done some research on cardone a few months ago about other auto parts and it seems they have been around for awhile. a minumum of 25 years from what i found out. i didn't look to hard for them. you can do a internet search for them and find them. the one they offer is rebuilt. master might be making new ones?

Yeah... the ones from Master Power are new.

wewll autozone and oriely's both offer the booster/mast. cyl. combo for 68-72 for 93. and 99 perspectively.

And i found out that although the 76-79 boosters have a different system for working the booster it can be made to work by removing the pivot pin on the pedal and drilling a 3/8" hole just above and behind the factory hole for mounting the booster rod to the pedal arm.

Sorry but i did not take pics but i did do it by eyeballing it.

Hey fordman
Got a quick ? for you. Please check your box.

I didn't see it mentioned, but make sure you have the power booster bracket before you go off and buy a new booster/master cylinder assembly.

Without that bracket you're up sh$t creek. That bracket can sometimes be the hardest and most expensive thing to get.
