@Amir Dariel instablaster :)

@Andres Drake I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im in the hacking process now. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@Andres Drake It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thanks so much, you really help me out!

@Amir Dariel Glad I could help :D

That brake pedal arm is an original unit sourced from a truck we already had. As of Nov. 2022, these are not available as a reproduction. However, you can check our current offerings at www.brotherstrucks.com

We don't make a pre-bent line kit for a non-power dual master install. You always have to run a proportioning valve when running disc brakes, so that's why you'll always see that as part of the install. For the lines on your application with just a dual master and drums, you would just tie the rear line into the master and run the "T" from the front lines to the master as well. We have a video for making brake lines and calculating routing here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jyXeBOg2wjE.html

Yes

It could likely be modified to work with a hydroboost, but we've never done it so we can't confirm that 100%.

I’ve started grinding away at different points. Must not of used a truck with a column shifter to make this kit

@@josephcutcher5200 The power style conversions do not work with a column shift, only with an automatic. We sell the dual master conversion (without power) for use with a manual trans application. Here's a link to the video of that product: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_eyhUseqNq8.html

Nope, none of the power booster systems will fit with a manual trans. Only option is to go with the Dual Master Cylinder conversion which will work with the manual trans. With the right setup, it will feel like you're running a booster anyway.

@@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV Thanks My 56 3100 had a jury rigged system under the cab with a power booster. I'm pulling it all out. What setup do you recommend?

@@fiddlerpin If you're keeping the manual trans you only have one option, manual brakes with a dual master cylinder upgrade. If you decide to go with an auto trans then you can go with power or manual brakes. That decision is up to you, but we lean towards power on our shop vehicles.

Unfortunately, you just would use your existing clutch pedal.

@@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV Darn. Guess a feller is gonna have to pick one of these up and try to do some figurin' on where to put that 3rd pedal. Would be really cool to have a one stop option for 3 pedals with firewall mounted master cylinders.

@@paullaughry3460 If you have a truck with a manual transmission, why would you need one of these with a clutch pedal, you already have one? Maybe we didn't understand the original question right?

@@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV It could be that a guy is starting with an empty shell and a rolling chassis and perhaps the gearbox a guy has uses one of them fancy hydraulic throw out bearings. Maybe having firewall mounted fluid reservoirs is a nice quality of life improvement. Maybe a guy just likes to row the gears and likes having a hanging pedal arrangement to match that fancy new brake pedal. What difference does it make what a guy wants is what I'm tryin' to say, just think it's a missed opportunity is all. A hole in the market if you will. Maybe you fellers just don't see enough of a market to make that sort of thing and that's ok too.

@@paullaughry3460 Ok, that makes sense. Yes, you're right about the markets demand for such an item, simply not enough need to invest the R&D into.

We don't see why it wouldn't. Are you still using the original pedal with that setup now?
