I was wondering if anyone has seen this done? I have been told that you can pull the stock Hydraulic Brake Booster system out of a 73-79 Ford F450 and bigger truck and swap them into a F150-F350 truck. It requires some extra hydraulic lines and such. Brake power would increase and you don’t need a vacuum line…

 

Specifically Not quite true

The F150-350 is already a hydraulic system.

You can gain extra braking in your 150/250 by installing the brake booster & M/C from an F350.

I suspect installing (if possible) the F450 system into a F350 would help it more.

 

www.hydratechbraking.com makes a retro fit hydraulic brake booster for 67-77 F-seriers trucks. Their website does not show it but they do make a kit for our trucks.

 

Good info apache !

Thanks, I've never seen that product.

 

I have a hydro boost on mine off a chevy 1ton very easy to install real good brakes alot better than the vacum.1975 F250

I agree, very cool website, maybe Ill try that someday, I dont have Power brakes at all....

Steering first though

 

so then the f250 and 350 master cylinder and booster are bolt in upgrades? anything else needed? i have both laying around so i may give it a shot.
