I dont think so, it is my understanding that in the era of the late 70's you started seeing more people traveling longer distances pulling larger trailers behind thier pickups. People had to get creative to survive, and thus they were trying to get the most out of the brakes, thus the upgrade to hydraboost was a logical choice, and became standard equipment on the camper special trucks, along with trucks with a GVWR of 10,000 lbs.
the SRW crew cab has a 9200 lb GVWR if memory serves.
