I did a PB "upgrade" on my '55 DeSoto; not sure if it was
really much of an upgrade. In that case the non-PB was different and the
entire unit had to be swapped. '55 was a different one year only PB unit
though. In '56 the pedal on PB cars is closer to the floor than the non-PB
cars.
I believe that the brake pedal assemblies should interchange
between Dodge and Plymouth.
It really isn't that daunting to just strip the brake pedal
assembly off down to the firewall and replace everything.
Have you tried Wildcat wrecking in Sandy, Oregon? MoPar
only and they have several '56 Dodges and Plymouths. They're not cheap but
they're good folks, a family operation.

Subject: [FWDLK] PB upgrade 56
Dodge
As many of you know I
am swapping in a Power Brake system into a 56 Dodge and am wondering if the
brackets for the brake pedal under the dash are the same for "non" PB cars as
PB cars?
And do those brackets
swap between PB cars from Chrysler, Plymouth or Desoto, and Dodge or are they
all different for each car?
I see they look
different between bellows type booster and internal types.....
Anyone do a PB upgrade
in a 56 Dodge??
