[QUOTE="Jroc, post: 12720718, member: 51847"] Converting the brakes from vacuum assist to hydroboost. The booster I bought is off a wrecked 02 F250 PSD, and the lines that you need to use are off a 6.0 PSD(pump to booster) and a 7.3 PSD(booster to steering rack) and then you just need about 2 ft of 3/8 tube and a brass tee for the overflow line. I ordered Gates lines BTW. Modular Mustangs use hydroboost brakes so that the boost will clear the heads. Hydroboost is particularly good if you plan on camming your truck as bigger cams will cause you to loose vacuum pressure which is bad for a vacuum assisted brake system, but IMO hydroboost brakes are just much nice and way more consistent feeling brakes. If you don't know a hydroboost system is run off the power steering pump. This guy here got a little more fancy with his line setup than we now know you need, but he was one of the first to do it so it was a pioneering experience I guess. He also used the F250's master cylinder which holds more fluid, but the F150/L's master cylinder bolts right up, and works fine, and operates under greater pressure so some prefer it to F250's master cylinder. The 7.3 PSD's pump to booster hydraulic hose doesn't fit our P/S pump but the 6.0 PSD's hose does.
