chevy hydroboost will it bolt up

[69dieselfreak]

do any of u guys know if you can bolt up a chevy hydro boost unit to our trucks and also will i be able to put my master cyl on the chevy unit thank for the info

Don't know about a Chevy one. Ford 89' F-450 ones work great.

the chevy one my buddy is parting out his truck and he is going to give it to me for free but i got to drive 2 hrs to get it though

I recall people talking about it, but I don't believe anyone's actually tried. I rather highly doubt that it would be a bolt-to-bolt swap...you'll probably need to do some fabrication. But, I don't know either way...hopefully someone who knows for sure will chime in.

Personally, I'd just use the F-450 setup...

im just worried about the firewall bolt on and the brake pedal .i wouldnt asume it would but thought id see
and i agree with you guys that the f450 would be my best bet

the firewall mounting stud plate is a completely different bolt pattern. So is the brake pedal pushrod mount. That's the bad news. The good news is that both can be swapped. But then again, if you got the ford pieces already, what do you need the chevy unit for unless the ford unit is leaking like a sieve?

its for free and i have vacume booster on my truck and i feel that the hydoboost is far superior brakeing but i got to drive 2hr to go and get it and i dont have any ford parts to play with so

The pump is very different. I'm making brackets to bolt mine up.

all u need is the resivor from ford that has a ruturn line and thats it but im not shure of the cost

you're gonna be pissed.
go rob a bracket and pump off a diesel E-series ford. they run the Saginaw pump due to space issues.

Let's see.... 2 hours of driving, that's about 120mi one way, at 17MPG current prices, that should run you about $63.52 in diesel round trip. Hmmm....

 

[69dieselfreak]

no half that maybe im running waste oil so ya i guess it would be worth it even to play with if it wont work

I haven't started the bracket yet! I'll see if I can find one, unless you can source one for me? Thanks!

I do have the AC pump figured out, very simple to use the Chevy unit.
