Ok my 55 I’m building has disks up front and drums out back. I’m trying to gather all my parts to make her stop! 67 mustang m/c and I read that a 62-63 F100 booster will work. With this set up do I try to find a original brake pedal ***embly or buy a aftermarket one that bolts in? Thanks- Brandon
Look for a '67 to mid/late '70s Ford truck booster. These will be a lot easier to find than the earlier units. There's some monkey-motion involved with the brake pedal-to-booster linkage and slight mods to the booster mount but is nearly a bolt-in. Use the OEM pedal.
Not without much more work than what I mentioned. Unless you're running a six cylinder, the booster needs to move up to clear the V8 head. The truck booster has an intermediate bracket with linkage that does that. If you're not already a member, go here: 1952-59 Ford Social Group | The H.A.M.B. (jalopyjournal.com).

The brake booster shoots the whole ***embly pretty far from the firewall, so I kept my car manual and it stops fine. I also have a vacuum issue with the cam I'm running.
