I am tired of my weak brakes and I'm pretty sure my booster is about to crap out. I decided to do the hydro-boost swap as many have suggested on this website. I have found many threads with advance and other part numbers but my local auto parts is a NAPA and I buy everything from them(except for my reinz gaskets which I get from my local german auto parts haus). This is a small town and they still have the old time super knowledgeable staff. I found a hydroboost off an 89 F450 w/ master cylinder for $75 at a local junk yard. I was going to get this steering pump w/ reservoir.

It is for a 99 super duty . Mine is starting to whine and I figured I would have it all drained down anyway. Does this look like the one? Will it bolt up? Will my pulley fit or will I need the super duty one? I'm guessing I will need some weatherhead adapters for the lines but I can eye them up when I pick up the parts? Or is the ford part E5LY-3A697-A a necessity? I realize stealership parts are better but i can have this in my hand tomorrow and I have never had a problem with a napa steering pump before. Someday I want to switch to a gm "canned ham" style but that will have to wait. Maybe till this chinese reman dies.
I was going to get the 2 supply hoses they recommend
part #s NPS 72223 hydro-boost to gear and
NPS 73277 pump to hydro-boost
They list 3/8 bulk hose for the returns? Is this correct?
I think this is all I need with the exception of the pedal but i was just going to move the pin up the 3/4" described by others. I am also going to replace all the rubber brake lines on the truck. This seems to be a recommendation from those who have attempted this. My wheel cylinders are new.
Thanks to all for their helpful threads and any comments you may have on mine. I know it is a lot of questions but I thought I could re-organize it and repost it when I get it all figured out.
