That helps.

The main parts though I dont quite get are

1) How do you know THAT hydroboost from that truck will work. Assume some have different PSI ratings/settings/returns depending on size of truck. Dont want to be blowing seals or too aggressive brakes - but guess it can be all controlled by PV ? Or another valve etc.

2) The linkage on backside to pedal. What does that look like. Did you use the existing truck pedal or the donor astro van pedal.

3) Dialing it in. Did you put a gauge on it to see how much flow/pressure and adjust .... etc

Apart from that an running the hoses seems similar to putting in the vacuum assist brake etc.
