1953-56 Ford Pickup Booster, Master Cylinder & Brake Pedal, Drum

Brake Pedal

These brake pedal assemblies allow you to easily install power brakes on your 1953-1956 Ford truck. 

Note: Pedal assembly is only applicable to a chassis using an automatic transmission.  It does not function with the factory clutch pedal arrangement.

Master Cylinder

These high-tech Corvette-style master cylinders were designed using OE specifications and 100% tested.  They have a 1" bore and are suited for disc/drum combinations. Each master cylinder is ported on both the left and right sides, allowing for installation in many different applications. This exclusive design features a mating flange that works with applications requiring 3-1/8” through 3-3/8” bolt patterns.  These master cylinders will work with manual or power brake systems and can be quickly changed with the included adapter pin to plug the deep well.  The wide body and low profile gives this master cylinder the clearance you need when installing in tight areas and yet it maintains a large volume of fluid necessary for 2 and 4 wheel disc brake applications.

• 1" bore
• 3/8"-24 IFF outlet ports on both sides

Brake Booster

Single diaphragm boosters are compact for installation under floor or on firewall of almost any vehicle. Booster measures only 7" in diameter. Zinc chromate finish. The single diaphragm is usually used on lighter vehicles. In the heavier applications of 3000-3500 pounds or more we normally use the dual diaphragm boosters.

You will need full manifold vacuum available to the booster. Manufacturer requirements vary between 18 and 20 inches of vacuum. With radical cams there are many cases where there is a loss of the necessary vacuum and the only option is a 12 volt vacuum pump available from Speedway under part number 91028146.

• O.D. is 7" Length from mount surface to master cylinder mount surface is 3-5/8" (this does not include the shoulder that extends into the master cylinder)
• 3/8 x 24 thread pushrod that is 4" long from mount surface to end of the threads (pushrod nut included)
• 4 bolt mount pattern on 3-3/8" centers
• Mount bolts are 5/16 x 20 and 7/8" long and nuts are included
• Master cylinder mount studs are 3/8 x 18 and 1-1/16" long and 3-3/8" on center

Proportioning Valve

These proportioning valves are similar to what GM used on many cars in the 70s. They are non-adjustable and may require an adjustable valve in the rear brakes (if needed). Block incorporates metering (for front brakes) and proportioning (for rear brakes) into one unit. For use with front disc and rear drum brakes.

Includes hard lines to connect to a master cylinder with 3/8"-24 outlets.
