Re: New project : 72 Suburban

This coming winter I plan to make some changes to the Suburban as far as the motor, so I started researching a hydro boost conversion. I also reached out to member LockDoc who was very helpful with tips and info he had acquired during his conversion. For my conversion I used the hydro booster from a 2004 3500 box van. Junkyards are pretty non existent where I live so all i could source was the pump itself from a salvage/used auto parts yard. The lines I purchased at Napa for a 2003 Chevrolet 2500 (info compliments of LockDoc) After some tweaking at the power steering pump and a slight adjustment at the steering box the lines fit very well. I did remove the oring end for the steering box and double flared the end with the standard fitting end. Came out nice and the Suburban has NEVER stopped like it does now. So phase one is now complete and I dont have to worry about vacuum for the brake system.
