    all of the pics I have seen of brake kits have brackets on the rear of the booster like a 1985 c10 booster that I have. I also have a 1989 c10 booster with no brackets,
    I would like to keep the booster close to the firewall and use the 1989 booster.
    Has anyone used newer boosters with no brackets?

    You can, you just need to drill new matching holes and weld up the old ones your not using...!

    On my 66 C10, I used the brake booster/master cyl and porportioning valve off a 93 Jeep Cherokee. It was the right size and required no brackets. However, where it attaches to the firewall it has a slight angle that I had to deal with.
