This is a pair of brake booster
bracket, machined bushing, and hardware to install a 99-04 Super Duty
Booster into a 1968-1979 Ford F150 / F250 / F350. Picture #2 shows
everything I sell. This listing DOES NOT include the brake booster, master cylinder or plumbing.
You will need to purchase separate.
These
brackets and hardware are designed to install a 1999-2004 Super Duty
hydrobooster onto your 73-79 truck. They are not compatible with any
factory 73-79 booster.
I
have multiple versions of these brackets, and I need to know what
booster your truck came with originally to send the correct bracket!
This
is a first of
its kind- a bolt in kit designed to work on 1979 and older Ford
F100, F150, F250 and F350 trucks that gives you a later model Super Duty
hydroboost brake booster and master cylinder! You will get
significantly
more fluid pressure and volume coming out of this master cylinder. This
kit installs in about an hour and requires no cutting or permanent
modification. It works with your existing brake pedal.
The
master cylinder will have a 1 3/8" (1.375") bore. Your factory master
cylinder likely has a bore of 1.00" or 1.25". Assuming you have the
larger 1.25" bore (likely not the case), the factory bore size has surface area of 1.227
square inches. A bore of 1 3/8" has surface area of 1.485 square inches.
This makes for an increase of about 21% of fluid coming out of the
master cylinder as compared to your factory one, with the same amount of
brake pedal movement. In other words, goodbye squishy/low brake pedal!
This is overkill and maybe too much for drum/drum brakes. this is really
meant for disc brakes!
This
brake booster will be powered by hydraulic fluid from the steering
pump. These boosters are about as powerful as
they get! Most factory 73-39 brake boosters are either a single 9", a
single 11" or a dual 9". You will feel like your braking power doubles
with this kit. This is really meant for disc brakes. Drum brakes will
feel like they want to lurch and lock up.
when
you place an order I will need to know what type of booster your truck
came with originally so I send you the right mounting bracket. There
were three main types- a booster with a long straight rod, a cantilever
booster which had a lever system, and then a booster with an angled and
offset rod connecting to the brake pedal (this last one is most popular
for 1979 models). Please message me and let me know which your truck
had. If you are unsure, send me a couple pictures of your booster and
brake pedal bracket.
