Yup, I bought a 72 1-ton booster for my 72 F-250......I hafta drill two holes and grind a support bracket for it to fit.
Wasn't this supposed to be bolt-on?
It's going onto a manual-brake truck.
Thanks!!

-OR-
could some one tell me how far the booster should sit from the firewall?
I got some steal kicking around and might try my hand at fabricating one....
I need one NOW!!!

The brackets I have ( which i will be using. Sorry.) are 3.340 inches from firewall to booster.

Well I grabbed some cardboard and started with the templates.....


So once I cut them out of steel I'll just need to make two 3.34 plates for the sides and make a box...... I hope
