Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 Hydroboost Brakes

This is a Chevy 1-Ton truck hydroboost power brake setup installed on a Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40. It bolted on, with some drilling, and the input push rod had to be shortened and threaded to accept the stock toyota brake linkage. Next step is to install the saginaw steering gear, the power steering pump was an easy-bolt on to the chevy 350.



The pushrod and the sleeve around it move together, the pedal still has travel all the way to the floor. It looks like the push rod is pried up against the sleeve, but there is a gap between the two at the top that you can't see very well in the picture. When the pedal moves down, the end of the rod moves in an arc and centers itself as it is being pushed in.








Here's the whole system from the 1-Ton:
