I made my own. The booster/ MC sit in a foreward facing ditrection, mounted to the T/Case crossmember. You need a pivot system to reverse the pull of the rod to a push on the master, I modified the bell crank from a Dodge van- one of those that turn the master 90 degrees, across the firewall. My master is easily accessed for filling through the left side floor board. An M-37 type access hatch would be a good improvement, I may do that after I get it running.
OOps, I used a vac system, because I'm using the stock 230 without power steering. I did the work while the cab was off, much easier access.
I think the hydro-boost would bolt up to Ray's Vacuum mounting kit, if he still has any in inventory...
But I am doing it all on this truck myself: body work, painting, upholstery, welding, new wiring harness, wiper system, headliner to match upholstery, modifications. Looks like I'll have $5,000 in it, no labor bills. Otherwise, I would have been one of Ray's best customers.
