Hydroboost Mounting Plates

Thanks for the compliment

That looks good. From what I read in your build thread, this hydroboost/master cylinder came from the 2004 2500 Silverado?

They hydroboost/mc did come from a 2004 Silverado 2500. Everything fit well and with the hood latched, there's roughly 1/4"-1/2" of clearance from the top of the MC to the bottom of the hood. Great product. I'd recommend it to anyone looking to do the swap.

This is coming up soon for my 68 C20. Will be looking soon to order some brackets. Going to the yard today to look for hydroboost unit and hoses. And an S10 speedo for that mod. Nice product for us. Thanks. Jim

[Captainfab]

Are you going to want a bare steel booster bracket and hydroboost plate, or the satin black version? Let me know when you're ready.

Don't know. But thanks for asking so quick. Went and looked at 1 yard in the rain yesterday. None on sight but possibly getting F250 Diesel in on Monday. Gotta check back then. Just to clarify, I'm using a lokar column shift cable bracket in my engine bay. It clears my standard power booster on my C20. Would this bracket still clear the Lokar adapter. Any experience with this before? I'll go back and look at your picks in the post and also look at your measurements of your bracket and see myself also. Thanks again. Jim

[Captainfab]

I have no experience with the Lokar column shift cable, just with stock shift linkage. The interference issue with the factory column shift linkage is not with the mounting bracket, but with the vacuum booster. Since you are going with the hydroboost, there should not be an issue with any interference. Then again this is based on the factory shift linkage.

What does it cost total for the Hydroboost plate and bracket in the powder coated black including shipping etc? I have a 97 Astro hydro boost going in a 71 C10.

[Captainfab]

The total cost on those parts with shipping will be $99.65. Let me know.

Just to be clear can I use the hydroboost with the factory reservoir and the disc disc proportioning valve i got from CPP?

[Captainfab]

Yes you can.

[exploderjim]

Sorry maybe I'm confusing myself but I mean the reservoir that came with the hydro boost (GM plastic one) and then the disc/disc proportioning valve I'm currently using with the original setup.

[Captainfab]

Since you're running 4 wheel discs, I would use the correct disc/disc master cylinder with the Astro hydroboost.

[exploderjim]

I want the plastic one for it. Any suggestions on what one to look for?

[exploderjim]

I guess what size bore I need to match. Ay suggestions would be appreciated.

[exploderjim]

Would a trailblazer ss disc disc work? here is a link

[exploderjim]

as an alternative maybe the 05 GTO disc / disc with a 1.125 bore

Opinions on this type?

[Captainfab]

I really don't have much experience with those aluminum and plastic masters. That one for the GTO will definitely not work. The Trailblazer one might. I think I would lean towards one for a '96-'99 truck with 4 wheel discs. Of course selecting a master cylinder will depend on just what calipers you are running.

[exploderjim]

I'm running the CPP brake kit which is Escalade fronts and crown vic rears I think. I guess I should look for and ecalade / tahoe disc disc master. If any one has advice or suggestions I'm all ears.

[exploderjim]

Now I have found a 08 and a 2012 Master cylinder from a Silverado HD running 4 wheel disc brakes. would that work and two i would still need to run my CPP porportioning valve as well right? Here is my issue I just want to confirm that I'm understanding this correctly and that it will bolt to the master cylinder. The 2012 is a hydroboost set up as well. Anyways any help would be appreciated/

[wheel1968]

Hey Capt'n i have a 78 chev mini home hydro that'll work right it was a 1 ton looks like it would ?

[Captainfab]

Yes, that will work. Once you remove the factory mounting plate, the hydroboost units themselves are all the same. That master cylinder might be a little large if you are going to run it on a C10. I would just bolt on an appropriate C10 master cylinder.

I do not know if either of those masters will bolt up to your '97 Astro hydroboost. As I said earlier, I do not have much experience with the newer masters as what you are looking for. Some of the newer masters bolt up differently. If you want to go with a master cylinder as new as one of those, I would suggest purchasing the master and hydroboost as a unit. If your CPP proportioning valve is for a disc/disc system, then yes you should run that one.
