hydroboost question

I've searched but the answer I'm looking for isnt posted. To change to hydroboost, do I have to use a booster from a OBS Superduty or can I use a booster from a '00 F350? What about the PS lines, do they both have the same type fittings? Will my Master swap over?

Not sure about the 00. Our trucks are the same up to the early 99's not sure about the late 99's & up. It would be best to get everything from a donor truck if you can swing it. Pump, booster lines, booster, PS lines, master cylinder ect. Not sure about the fittings.

What will you do about the vacuum pump? You still need vacuum to run your HVAC. The Hydroboost trucks have an electric Vacuum pump.

vacuum pump works fine, pulls 20" of vacuum. Just thinking about this as an upgrade. I drive a IH 4300 at work with a hydroboost system, I like it

You might not be able to keep the vacuum pump with a different PS pump, not sure tho.
