I'm sure there will be a little fabrication to make it work but nothing I can't handle. It can't be more than a mounting plate and pushrod adapter. Once that's figured out I'll be good to go. The new PS pump I have for the hydro assist is already set up for hydraboost brakes.
I'm getting new heads this month (I think) and then will be stroking to a 557 by the fall. The cam I'll be using won't be giving me enough vacuum to work the brakes right.

Btw Mustang, did Rob tell you what I just bought on ebay and where it's going?Now I just need to find a way to stop the truck.
I just dropped off the axle with Randy and he said he'll have it done in a couple of days. He's got to pound out the studs and do some other junk. I was going to do all that and just took it down for measurements but if he can do it and save me the hassle then why not? He said he's not needed to change the p-valve or MC on ANY 1/2 ton -1 ton trucks. He said some of the smaller stuff needs it like Jeeps and those other tin cans but the bigger trucks don't. So we'll give it a shot and see how it works.

Hey Guys! Thanks for all the info about the rear disc. The rear set-up that I have available is from a mid 70's full size lincoln. I was just going to use the mounts and such off of it, not the whole rear end.
I also figured that when I get done, it has to be better than what I have now as my truck is a four wheel drum set-up. It stops like a dog......lol So I'm going to convert the front to disc and the rear as well. I bought a parts donar for the project so I should have about everything that I need.
I hope to get started on the old truck soon as the weather warms up a bit. I need to pull all the parts off the other truck that I bought and get them cleaned up and ready for the beast.
Once again, thanks for all the info. I really appreciate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
