I dont think so, it is my understanding that in the era of the late 70's you started seeing more people traveling longer distances pulling larger trailers behind thier pickups. People had to get creative to survive, and thus they were trying to get the most out of the brakes, thus the upgrade to hydraboost was a logical choice, and became standard equipment on the camper special trucks, along with trucks with a GVWR of 10,000 lbs.

the SRW crew cab has a 9200 lb GVWR if memory serves.

It was an old airforce truck that rusted out real bad, became a donor for its 205 and dana 60. the rest wasnt worth saving.

I had a 76 with hydroboost in fact it was posted by the newest owner in the first couple of pages of this thread

Thanks man. And yes the dually is a lot of re-work mostly. It was just thrown together with mud dob welding. I wouldnt put my dog in the back of it with the frame the way it is. Ill post some better pics in a build thread on it later down the road. The other crew will be posted on here and craigslist by this weekend

thanx, i went with white again on it, ( just moved to the mountains so white is easier to keep clean), we did go with the newer slliverado white because its brighter ( i think there is less yellow in the mix) , thought it would be closer to the original but i'm gonna have to jamb it now
i would like to throw a graphic on it one day
I would like to tape out some tribal flames and let someone spray american flag colors inside

Willie, looks like you got lots of fun toys kicking around the back 40! Love the old subs too!

Got to jump start my 2001 Tahoe this morning with my '87 CC dually. Made me laugh a little.

Would sure love to get that white one! I live in Arkansas & need another crew cab to have as a spare for mine in case I ever needed it! Hit me up if you know any contact info for this guy!
