    I'm starting to get serious about the C-cab build.
    been trying to get the chassis in roller form.
    trying to figure out how and where to mount the master cylinder.
    I know it will have to go on the chassis, under ther floor.
    I have an older Total frame, and have seen M/C mounted to the inside of the left frame rail. I guess thats OK, since they sell the stuff to do it.
    anybody else have their M/C mounted in this fashion?
    is there a better way?
    I need advice from the TP gurus:eek:

    Thanks
    Vance

    My setup is a Total also. It's a tight fit, but it works good. Spirit has a similar setup and I think theirs is a little better and you can use a power brake booster.

    Get with Thomas, he has a Spirit T Bucket.

    My setup uses a corvette master under the floor with no booster. and works very well.

    I put mine further back under the seat than TP does becuase I wanted to have access to fill it from under the seat. This was no problem but you need to plan a longer (mine is about 16 inche) pushrod. Putting it here also let me use a power booster which after considering it my have been a complete waste of time. Live and learnRandall

    Thanks for the input and info, I really appreciate it.:D
    right now things are kinda on hold. I'm having a devil of a time finding steering arms for my econoline spindles:mad::D
    unless somebody has a set squirreled back, looks like I may be buying a new I-beam axle and spindles.:sad::lol:
    which means the money I had saved back for new sheet metal, will now have to go for a new front set-up.
    anybody got a set of steering arms for Econoline spindles you want to part with.....cheap:eek:

    I could make someone a killer deal on a TP frame, I-beam axle, spindles, radius rods, bat wings, etc.:boohoo::shifty:
