thanks the only thing i think i need that i don't have is a nes push rod boot for power brakes. did you use the orig push rod?

GMCMAX · 03-23-2008, 09:55 PM

No, the pushrod from the pedal to the booster is totally different than the pedal to m/c one

Is that an 88-98 Short Step bed? If so, he did a great job blending it in and making it fit
