Mine rusted out behind the tires. The Core Support rusted out as well, rest of the Truck is rust free. Fenders are cheap $ 125.00 a piece, the painting not so cheap.

Got my new booster slid in today after work. I haven't got the lines in yet but I slotted the holes in the master cylinder and hooked up the pedal and bolted everything down.

When I get around to the lines I think I'm going to pull the pump for easier access unless someone has a trick they use. I can hardly see them with the pump in let alone reach them lol!

Pulled and drained my PS pump, plumbed my hydroboost, filled it up and bled it best I could. Pulled out the old vacuum line and capped off the ports on the tee on the firewall.

Put my new parking brake cable in.

Proceeded to cause my ladder rack and overhead door to have a disagreement over which one was going to occupy the space :( Luckily the damage was minor. I bent them both back.

Got out into the driveway and proceeded to almost give myself whiplash from having brakes that actually work lol!

I'm very glad to have working brakes but now my pump is whining and I'll have to fix that because it's driving me insane.

I finally repaired my broken clutch pedal push rod!! I was towed before thanksgiving I believe and truck has sat in the way in the driveway since then!

Today she took some coaxing but got it running and drove around with the tightest clutch pedal I've had since buying this truck!
