Which hydroboost unit for a swap?

I'm getting ready to dump the vaccum assist brakes and swap over to a hydroboost setup, but I'm not sure which of these 2 units I want. The first unit was pulled out of an '84 K20 with a 6.2 and the other unit I have came from a '78 C30 with a 350. I got the pedals and everything in between from both trucks, and it looks like it should be a straight-foward deal. The master off of the C30 is larger than the one from the K20, but the hydroboost itself from the K20 looks to be in a little better shape. Can I swap master cylinders from one to the other or will both setups be the same? The truck receiving the swap is my '83 K20.

Thanks in advance!

I'd use the 84 model myself.

Re: Which hydroboost unit for a swap?

Been thinking about upgrading to hydroboost on mine, I am curious if all hydroboost units were created equal? I know master cylinders have different bore sizes, but know have found nothing about the HB units.
