Looks like the cantilevered style similar to Tyler's. Middle of page 27. http://www.fordification.com/forum/view ... &start=390

cool - thanks yep that's it - looks like it will bolt right up....IF I can ever get the pin out of the cantilever so I can transfer it all over to the new unit! 2 days of PB blaster and hammering and it is still welded to the brake booster rod.

This is some good info - didn't realize this section was there....

Might have to cut both sides of the shaft and remove it from the bracket so you can get something on it to twist it. Maybe a pipe wrench? Or drill it and try an easy out? Probably needs a twisting force to break the rust loose.

Heard back from Inline Tube - there were two configurations for the brake lines in 1975. Which I think means there were two places the prop valve was mounted. One is on top of the steering box, and the other, based on the lines I was sent, looks like it was on the frame where the 1970 distribution valve is mounted. Just FYI for the next person to run into this issue.

ok, looks like some more information I can use when I get around to making the swap. I did start to dismantle my donor front end this past weekend. 8) got down to rotors, springs, axles and radius arms before calling it quits......I did not get a booster from the donor truck, just the front chasis (literally, PO just cut chasis in half) and master cylinder. Still not sure if/when I will get around to making the swap but glad to have such a great resource to help me when I do :fr:
