I've got it all written up and about to go post it now. After I post it, move it to where you want or let me know if I need to edit it, shorten it, explain more, explain less, reduce the # of pics, increase the #of pics, etc!

Yes Sir, thank you.
Due to the fact I am computer illiterate, I have taken some threads, printed them and laminated them to put in one of three Bump folders in the file cabinet. I think HIO said he was going to add this to a tech forum. Do ya think there be pics with it as well instead of D/L a photo bucket?

I also use Photobucket when I post photos here. When you click on the chain symbol (link) above the picture, it'll give you four file link types on the right to choose from.
If you click on the 4th (last link choice in the list) that says, " IMG (for forums, boards)" and then copy that link, when you paste that link here (or on any forum), it'ill show up as the actual picture itself and not as just a clickable link to take you to the picture.

So why does everyone seem to be using a late 90's Superduty to early 2000's Superduty hydroboost unit?
From the previous posts on this thread, it looks like there are plenty more options... which is where my interest in this thread lays.
Not very many threads have done a good job of listing what hydroboost units should/shouldn't be used and for what reasons. Anyone have a list of units that are considered "good" for full size pick-ups like Bumpsides and Dentsides?
This seems like a great conversion to do in conjunction with some rear discs, but there's a real lack of info for brake morons like myself.
EDIT: My application would be for my 1978 F150 2WD. Eventually I want to set up my "big" Lincoln/T-bird front calipers + do a rear disc conversion.

I think overall dimensions of hydroboost units might be very helpful, in a big old pickup its not an issue but for sure if you are putting one into a car where space is a little tighter, knowing exactly how big one is compared to another could be a god-send.
