Brake booster on an inline 6?
Alright, I want a little more (easier) stoppage power on my brakes but I don't want to spend alot. I want to know if it matters, and if it's possible to install any, or a specific brake booster on my '67.
The truck has the stock 250 Inline 6 with the stock Intake Manifold etc.. What all exactly would I have to buy, and would it hook up to my old intake? Also, can I buy just any brake booster, or does it have to be specific? Take this one for example: ![]() Well?

Re: Brake booster on an inline 6?
I don't know about specific boosters, but overall it's a fairly simple swap. You will have to get the longer pushrod (changing that was the toughest part) and an off-set air filter or one of the small aftermarket units. Your brake lines will be too short to hit the prop valve correctly. I straightened mine out until they reached, but they looked dumb. If I did it again ( I have all new PB brake lines now for my build) I would find a couple of 6'' extentions for the lines.
![]() Good luck-it's worth doing. It will make a huge difference.

Re: Brake booster on an inline 6?
So you think I could install this on it? http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/sk...ts+%26+Mirrors
It says it fits for my truck, and comes with the hardware. Will it work good for drums?

Re: Brake booster on an inline 6?
It does say it is an exact fit for a 67 GMC with 6 cylinder.

You will still need a bracket unless you want to mount it straight to the firewall like a van. you would need to make your own rod but we sell all the parts for that to. We sell the exact same setup (reman from Cardone) for less and only a $20.00 core charge our price is $120.00 for a loaded booster. Shipping is like $14.00 in stock If you want we can set you up any brake booster combo you want using new parts to for even less Last edited by mbgmike; 05-01-2010 at 12:00 PM. |

Re: Brake booster on an inline 6?
I just want everything I'll need to convert using the brake booster, while keeping my drum's. If it's possible I'd like to use the same master cylinder. If I keep the master cylinder, what EXACTLY will I need, and if you could bundle it altogether what price am I looking at?
