just wondering if i were to get a set of forward offset uprights for my bbc  would this clear my master cylinder with the brake booster still on or no?  if it matters the bb is in an 82 3/4ton

thanks

it should . dec built mine and with a little measuring you can give them the measurements and they will make sure it does

DEC made my forward offset BBC uprights and they did not clear my master cylinder.  I had to remove the booster, I also had to weld up holes in the pipewhere they burned thru, and the flanges hit the head bolts. I had to clearance grind the flanges to make them fit.  First and last set I will get from DEC.

id kind of like to keep what power brakes i have.   had a brake booster take a p00 on me once in that truck and i could barely get it to stop.  now i dont know if having just the master cylinder on it is a little easier to stop  then having a junk brake booster and tryin to stop with that?    if that makes any sense

I bought a set of forwards from DEC and they fit great, no problem with clearance but i do have a small booster and master cycl.

manual stops better than a junk booster. i run manual brakes on my racer

schoenfeldheaders.com makes a set of foward offset headers and for a good price, i hear better things from them than what i do dec headers
