This is a bolt in kit designed to work on 1966 to 1979 GM medium-dutytrucks that gives a firewall-mounted11" Super Duty power brake booster and 1.5" bore master cylinder. It's important that you confirm fitment before ordering by comparing my pictures and measurements to your truck. There may be variations in these trucks I am not aware of.This kit is meant for trucks that have a firewall-mountedmaster cylinder held on by two bolts that are 3.625" on center, horizontally spaced, same as the picture here.
You will notice a definite increase in braking power and pedal feel, with getting rid of your original system and going to this setup. This does away with the slave system and under under-mountedbooster. This booster installs in about an hour and requires no cutting or permanent modification. It works with your existing brake pedal. You do need to add a proportioning valve. We offer a PV4 valve with flare adapter fittings that is sold separately on our website.
For the brake line routing, you need to run two new lines (usually 1/4") from the new master cylinder down to a proportioning valve. The valve can be anywhere, but on the frame near the factory junction block is most convenient. Then the valve outputs get connected to each of the two existing circuits that feed each of the front/rear axles. This way you separate out two circuits and you reuse as much of the existing lines as possible. Brake lines are not included, but common 1/4" lines from a local parts store, or even from Amazon, work well.
Super Duty Components:
This kit comes with a Super Duty 11" dual diaphragm booster and 1.5" bore Super Duty master cylinder. The Ford parts are excellent, reliable, and easy to source. These parts are 100% brand new and high quality throughout. The booster has a very nice black powder-coated finish that will last for years. This is the same setup that a modern F550 truck would come with. This booster/master setup will feel like it was factory-engineered for your C60.
C60 / 6000 applications have a long spacing from the booster to the pedal connection. We have special manufactured Super Duty boosters with threaded detachable rods. This allows the use of a machined threaded extension, which is required for these conversions to get the correct rod depth into the cabin.
These parts put out about 1600 psi of brake fluid pressure as well as a large volume of fluid. This is a higherbrake fluid pressure than an original system, with about the same volume. It also has a mechanical advantage of directly mounting to your pedal rather than relying on a slave/master system.
