It would likely be a whole lot easier to just get a '73-'86 C/K or '87-'92 R/V hydroboost and bolt it up.
I'm kinda limited in terms of selection, I'm out in the middle of nowhere South Dakota, so my primary resource is the internets. I sourced that unit on eBay for $99 bucks, in an effort to save a bit. I'm not too concerned about the pedal situation, I'm going to thread the rod and put an adjustable linkage to the pedal, I may have to modify its connecting location as well because I think the geomtry is a bit different.

I've never seen the bracket for sale by itself, which I think would look like this:

I could buy the pump with the plate for $180+$60 core+ I'd still need the proper res and I think the pedal is still wrong so I'd have to modify that or replace it as well.

If you happen to know where to locate a plate like that, awesome. Otherwise perhaps you could just sell me the plate and the bracket sans mounting holes, I could drill them myself.
