Local efforts to find a set of pedals for my 5-speed and hydro boost swap in my K5 have not found anything. Sending it out to the CK5 brotherhood to see who's got a set stashed away.

So who's got some? Let me know.

Thanks!
 
dont pass off a vac brake setup . seen a few that come factory with both holes punched for the pin to hook the brake rod to . i had one years ago and popped the 2 extra fire wall studs from it to make it a hydro boost version and then cut my old brake pedal apart for the pin and welded it in the hydro boost hole location and extended the safety tab with the old brake pedal unit . looked basically factory when done to the un trained eye.
 
I usually come across a few here and there but lately I dont see any. I sold 4 sets last year. I am always looking and those are always selling.
 
I have a set in my diesel Suburban right now that for the right price I'd pull out and send your way, as well as the master and slave cylinder, plus I might still have a hydro bellhousing if I can find it.

I agree. Both of my conversions used vacuum boost pedal sets modified for hydroboost use. As in, I removed the two extra studs, cut half the pad off of my stock automatic pedal, and installed the old pedal in the new bracket. Or you can move the stud like @sweetk30 did.

I can tell it's not stock, if I look at it closely enough. But you probably can't, unless I tell you the one hidden difference. The pedal pad offset is even the same.

Side note, the extra hole on the pedal on the left is NOT in the correct spot for hydroboost. It's kinda close, but it's too far up. Not sure what it's for.
 
Depending on what I find, I might do that. I've actually got a hydroboost brake pedal for an auto already. I was going to install it but the whole big block/manual business got started. So worst comes to worst I can take a hydraulic clutch/vacuum brake set and install my hydroboost pedal after cutting the pedal to fit.
 
Soooooooo I got a set of vacuum pedals. PM me if you still need some.
