FYI
I put a GM Firewall Power Booster on my '37 with a Swing Pedal with 4wheel Drums. However, I upgraded the small '37 brakes with large Hornet 11x 2 1/4" Brakes which practically interchange. It may benefit you to install large Hornet/Commodore Brakes instead of a Booster....
The Booster & Swing Pedal was easy by figuring the location snd make a Template of bolt pattern. Drill 4 holes then hole saw a center hole for the Pushrod, then bolt the two halfs together (Booster outside firewall & Swing pedal Inside). The firewall is strong but I added a short brace above the pedal assy too. I was going to put Discs on but it stops so well that I scrapped that idea.....0 -
Thanks, Looking into now.

The mounting as described above and a couple plumbing changes were very easy and produced outstanding results. Very worthwhile upgrade.0 -
