Now take the complete brake system off of the truck that you are changing over.
Now would be the time to do any painting to the brake booster and the master cylinder. Once
you have everything cleaned up....fasten the booster and the brake pedal frame together through the
firewall of your classic truck.
Because I had the template off of the scout I could layout the
pattern on the firewall .....which made the holes match up perfectly.
You will probably have a brake junction box that you have to hook up to the fender well
and then run your lines to the Master cylinder. You can get these parts at any auto store.
The steering column will have to be offset a little to allow the brake pedals to pass by it.
The picture below show the brake pedal hole just off to one side of the steering column
hole. Make sure you clean up and paint this area. Paint the whole firewall.
You will be able to adjust the pedal arm angles by cutting a notch in them with your torch and bending them upward. I only did this because
I did not
get the pedal travel I wanted. (The pedals bottomed out to quick)
Fasten your brake pedal carriage to the bottom of your dash. You need to fully secure
this because of the pressure and leverage you will put on it while applying the brakes.
After this you will need to hook up the clutch
linkage. I had to add 6” to the original linkage to make it work.
When you start your truck make sure your in neutral and test the tension. All linkage
should be adjustable.

I bought the rod down at a local Ace Hardware Store.
