    • @russellmcconahay7297
      @russellmcconahay7297 6 місяців тому

      They make a pedal kit that goes on the dash of the 57 and excepts that new booster. I have seen some people use the old booster but it’s all good plumbed and wired for the ABS and stuff.

    Love your videos. I’m currently using a EZ Chassis kit on my 64 C-10. I’m currently working on brakes, just wanted to touch base and see if you’d had any issues pairing this booster with the Tahoe brakes? Does the ABS still work? Thanks!

      @russellmcconahay7297 6 місяців тому

      I removed the ABS part it was not going to work. At least I didn’t figure out how to make it work so I’m going with just a proportioning valve front rear and I’m using a new brake booster. If you wanna call me, let me know and I’ll teach you my number.

    That truck is awesome! 1954 & early 55 had that grill. The other main differences from earlier Advance Design trucks was the one piece windshield and flat bed rails. 1954 was also the first for the 235 in trucks. Yours has a 216. Judging by the butchered rad support, it might have had an engine swap. Probably a V8, which would require a different bellhousing and engine mounts. Cheap custom rads weren't available decades ago. If the only swap was to the 216, maybe they butchered the support to make getting the engine out easier. These engines are heavy and who knows what they had for tools. I have a 1949 with a 250 and a 54 3/4 ton dually tow truck w/235.
