60-62 clutch/brake combo master cylinder SWAP to ft discs and power??? clutch MC?

[Chuck78]

I'm looking for other options for the 60-62 GMC dual brake and clutch combo master cylinder when switching to disc brakes and possible power disc brakes. MPB or someone sells a $489 kit that has an 8" or 9" booster that's spaced off the firewall pretty far, with enough room to fit a small clutch master cylinder to the fender side, and behind the booster. That';s a lot of cash! They apparently eliminate the factory over-the-steering-column clutch linkage and take the new clutch linkage directly through the firewall (factory linkage took clutch linkage over top of steering column and more towards the engine from the brake MC).

I keep thinking maybe I can get a stock 60-66 power booster and space it out a bit further with some fabbed up brackets, and then for clutch master, use a stock 62 brake master (from an auto trans truck) as the clutch (have to disassemble and remove that check valve or residual valve or whatever). Not sure how all of this will fit up without spending the dough on the parts. Anyone ever done? $500 seems like an awful lot of cash for some basic parts with a custom fabbed clutch master cylinder mounting bracket.

Also, there are some places that sell just the booster wtih the long spacer bracket, so maybe that might be the ticket, although a pricey one. Then I don't have to fab anything for the booster at least, and the rod will be the correct length.

I'd like to hear from anyone who has done this or is even considering it.

Thanks guys,
