power brake booster for 67 belvedere

[67belvedere/225]

I went to my local junk yard (been going for almost 30 years now )
they let me go through there parts shelf , i found one from a mazda 3 made by bendix
mad a adapter and extended the push rod in booster to my dodge diplomat master cylinder
So now the M/C matches the disc brake swap in the front and the diff swap to the 8.25 diff in the rear with 11 inch drums. come spring when she's all back together , ail have to see how well it works.

the proportioning valve is also from the dodge diplomat

I was wondering if the power brakes booster/Mc and proportioning valve from one of my parts trucks (Dakota) would work on a b-body. It sure looks like a fit. Also the drum assembly springs/cylinders ect from the rear of a 4wd Dakota look like they would work for an 11" rear drum b-body. I went ahead and replaced things with new parts just to avoid to hassle of removing parts time and again if things didn't fit. I will be doing budget builds in the future and I will definitely rob parts off them if I can to save $

with hydraulics , the thing is pedal travel, if the wheel cylinder use more fluid to move ,the pedal does too
thats why when i swap stuff it try and use the whole system, good luck
let me know if it works

The wheel cylinders from the 95 Dakota and 70 coronet appeared to be carbon copies of each other. I had cylinders from both removed and next to each other. In fact I did use some of the springs.

The booster/Mc also appear to be very similar although I didn't get the chance to closely inspect them side by side. I just presume that if the brakes were interchangeable at the bottom end then they were also at the top end.
