hydroboost

has anyone out there installed any hydroboost kits into there trucks. I am getting tired of the bad brakes on my 78 f-150 with 37" tires and am looking into a hydroboost system probably from hydratech braking systems (www.hydroboost.com). the only thing is that they only make a kit for 80-96 ford trucks but I can find ways to make it fit. I know theres not much difference in the master cylinders from the late 70s to the early 80s im just not sure how the push rods on the brake pedal differ year to year. the power steering pumps are the same to just different mounts. just looking for any body who's used a similar setup any pros or cons?
