hydro boost brake conversion question

[mikebGMC70]

I have many everything on my truck. Its my first old truck so its going to be a learning experience. I am thinking about going to hydro boost for my disc brake setup for the front. There is an 89 GMC 1 ton with most everything I need but my question is on the firewall the bracket looks to have 6 bolts holding it instead of 4 like most other truck. Can it work or even be worth my time?

Mike,

The six bolts are no problem. The 89 will be metric threads so you'll need to get a hose that's metric on the booster end and std. thread on the power steering pump end, don't remember the PN.

Any special reason for wanting to go to hydro-boost? I did it when I put a Dana 60 under the front of my 4x4 for extra stopping power with the larger calipers but if the regular booster would have worked I would NEVER have switched!

Just wondering...

Good luck!

The reason I am going with the hydroboost is I read it has more line pressure and since I have manual everything, I decided to give it a shot. Pick up a unit from a 94 astro van today so I'm wondering what M/C will work?
