1955-64 Power Brake Booster And Dual Master Cylinder

Article By Randy Irwin

The dual reservoir power brake master cylinders that are used in all the Eckler’s Classic and Late Great Chevy power brake conversions for the 1955 to 64 passenger cars and trucks are originally from 1968 to 1972 A and F body Chevrolets. On 1968 to 72 A and F body cars, two styles of boosters were used. One style booster had a short pushrod on the front of the booster and one style had a long pushrod. The Eckler’s Classic Chevy power brake master cylinders are designed to work with both styles of boosters.
