    do you remember what size end links you used(length)? i have a 4/6 drop but that shouldnt make a difference right? the stock ones are still in there now...

    Is your hydra-boost from a 2500/3500 series GM truck? Was it easy to install? Thanks Art...

    Yes its from a 98 3/4 ton trk that had a diesel. Only problem I had was the brake rod pluger, the hole was to big for my brake rod pin and I had to make a bushing.

    I then just bought P/s lines for hydroboost from a 98 trk

    I feel your pain on it turning into a full restoration. On the 86 I was happy with the old slow diesel and factory paint. It was a good old truck the wife and I both loved and could have kept forever. Then the diesel went and it has snowballed ever since. If I do that I might as well do this.....then I might as well do that....we have all done it.
