Re: ClusterTruck; because that’s what it is

I'm using the hydro out of a 79ish G30 van. It has the flare style fittings, which just required me to swap out the pressure fitting on my LS pump. Thanks GM for using the same basic pump for so many years.
The van pressure hose to the booster fits sorta-ok. Maybe a square body hose set would fit better. I'll worry about that later, I can also do some tube shaping if needed.
The 79 push rod for the booster is way too short, the 71 manual brake rod is about an inch too long. I did a quick chop and shape, and that was good to go.
You can just see it in this pic. I intentionally cut it a little short, since I mocked it up with the adjustment bottomed out. It should be in the range after everything is assembled "for real" at a later time. Right now, it's turned out a just a bit and there's a little pedal freeplay.
