Hydroboost conversion done!

Ahhh... I see said the blind man.
Looks like the Chevy booster I posted has a pushrod as long as the 2001 Superduty.
As for my pedal, I couldn't possibly come up anymore, the brakelight bracket is almost right against the stop. Unless One were to drill a new hole in the pedal for the pushrod bolt.

You have to use a P/S pump that is has two returns. One comes back from the P/S box and the other from the hydroboost. If you are getting stuff from a donor truck, it's best to pull everything including the P/S pump. Get the hoses, brackets, and P/S pump. That's what I did when I pulled mine out of an '88 F450. The F-450 M/C is too much and I will be switching back to a '78 F-350 M/C sometime soon. I hear the F-250 M/C works well though.

Still just did not have the right pedal feel, well I got that fixed!I replaced the front two rubber lines and the rear rubber brake line with custom made stainless braided line. huge difference in response and pedal feel! I had all the lines custom made at a local truck service center. The really expensive part was the rear because the hose is part of the line block that bolts to the axle housing. I ended up reusing the stock block but machining and threading it to accept the new line. All in all for 127.00 i'm happy!

The booster bolts to the bracket and the booster pushrod bolts directly the pedal in my application. No rocker bracket or pivot point.
My 68 bronco has a pivot point behind the booster bracket.

I also pulled mine out of an F-450 and it was a direct bolt-in, except that I made brackets to mount the booster to the firewall and had to rebend the lines a bit. I currently have a 351M and the pump bolted right on my current P/S bracket. I don't know anything about the L&L bracket, but I would expect the pump would bolt up fine to it too.
