someone give me the low down on hydroboost
with my current mastercylinder bad on my K20. i am thinking of putting a hydroboost system on it. i plan to pull my tractor this year with it for my bushhogging business. i know hydroboost comes on 1 ton and bigger trucks but is there any real advantages of it over a standard booster? if you have this (yukon jack) please post pics of how it works and what all you did to get it functional.
thanks

Re: someone give me the low down on hydroboost
I installed a hydroboost on my 56 Chevy truck and it works great. I took the booster off a 79 Cadillac Seville with 4 wheel disc brakes and used the complete setup on my truck. The truck stops very well. I don't have any pictures right now but was not a hard install. The diesal Cadillacs used the hydrobost setup. I used a power steering pump and hoses off a 1 ton truck for the big block in my truck.

Re: someone give me the low down on hydroboost
Contact the guys at hydratch http://www.hydratechbraking.com/ They are the guys that can steer you where you want to go. I ran into a guy last fall that had a booster from them that he put in a 62 Chevy Belair along with his LS-1 motor upgrade and he was very impressed with their suport and knowledge. Enclosed are some pictures of his install.

Take a look at the braided lines running from brake master cylinder to the power steering pump area.
