Power brake booster installation | Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 644 addict | OP addict Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 644 | Has anyone installed a power brake booster system on a G10/G15 that originally came with non power brakes? Is it an easy swap if you have a donor van with all the parts? Is there clearance issues or any issues I should be aware of? Is there a upgrade that can be done to non-power brake models such as a after market system add-on? Any advice is welcome.

I remember just pulling the lines forward about 2 or 3" and adding the vacuum line to the back of the carb. I think there was even a spacer / mounting plate behind the master cylinder so the lines didn't really change that much because the booster went in place of this plate. Getting a donor van as close to your year as possible would definitely be a plus.
