Nice! Is this a conversion that you designed yourself?

I did not think of this myself.
Paul, on here brought it up, he did the up front work, meaning the F150 I am using a Ford master and a Mustang hydro boost system. If you have a 55\56 you know that there is really no room on the fire wall, and I was tired of the treble Vac. I removed the air tube and mounted the hydro boost the that opening. I have not gotten to the pedal ratio yet, as I am re-wiring the dash In F150 install was very easy... I think the article by Paul is in the archives "I hope". He gave all the info needed including the Ford kind pin modification Sorry about the "red" paint... dripped from the fender.. will clean that up

Quite a regular

There's a thread I saw somewhere on here or on another forum describing a Packard being converted to a conventional booster which for some reason I can't find at the moment.
As I recall the pedal conversion essentially involved moving the pivot point of the original pedal as close as possible to the brake pushrod to gain the required ratio. I'm not sure if it would be the same with a hydroboost. It's a little odd looking and makes the pedal move in a fairly tight arc but the poster reported being completely satisfied with pedal feel and travel. I also saw someone trying to develop a complete retrofit kit including the floor plate on the Oldsmobile forum but I don't know if anything ever came of it.
