What Brake Master Cylinder/booster Kit to buy? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

leesnuts · 11-25-2003, 03:01 PM

I am trying to decide what under cab power brake booster/master cylinder (Disk/Disk)kit to go with. I have a 58 with a smooth firewall so I want to keep the master cylinder under the cab. I am looking at either the Brothers or the Classic Performance Kit. Anyone have any Opinions on either kit? Any install related problems?

I am looking for the factory brake pedal assembly 55-59, if any one has an extra one let me know.

Thanks,
Lee

The CPP kit is good. It comes with an 8-inch diameter booster...nothing less will stop your truck. We sell the same unit for much less than they do. email me
