Assuming the early 40 you have doesnt have a booster? It would be worthwhile fitting the booster and master from the later 40 but from memory you need to make a bracket for the booster. Something to do with the pedal box on the early models not having the mounts for the booster. Ol'40 (Garry?) on http://www.3rdrock4x4.com/forum/index.php did it to his early 40 and had pics of the bracket he made up. Have a search there or pm him if you can't find it.

just checked ol 40,s thread,he appears to have a different original set up,looks like no booster,mine has a booster,but its funky looking and attatched to the ribbing,mine could possably be a mid 60,s to,im not sure on exactly what year model,it hasnt got a heater or the vents near the kick out panels either,still has the 3 speed in it mated up to a 327 chev,the body on it is awsome with lack of rust,needs paint though,they dont make them like they used to with the 40,s
