Re: brake issue on 65 conversion
Dont have pics but some weld to proper length. I used A mc from a 76 c10 and used an adjusting nut to lengthen the pushrod. Same principal as tie rods. An adjusting sleve turned one way will spread the tie rods apart and pull them in when reversed.

Re: brake issue on 65 conversion
Wow thats a huge difference. Is it posible to use your original pushrod and just lengthen it? If the mc is a universal type there may be adaptors for proper length. Srry couldnt be of much help

Re: brake issue on 65 conversion
If not there is that place right on the other side of the freeway on charter next to taco bell has all kinds of stuff like that. I think it's called j and m or something. It's a farmers hardware store. Has a lot of goodies.
