Hydro boost
Check out my build on page 11. I tried adapting a few different hydraboosts. I settled on one out of a 2001+ and the corresponding master. -

Pads stick above the rotor
I changed my front brake pads and noticed something. The drivers side both pads are even with the top of the rotor. On the passenger side the inside pad sticks above the rotor and the outside pad is even with the top. Do you know what would cause this? I was thinking maybe a bent caliper bracket... -
Cracked windshield
Yup. Mine looks like that on both sides. Guess I'll have to wait until I get a house with a garage so I can do the repairs.- TubeTruck

Cracked windshield
My truck was covered in snow. Cleaned it off and headed to work. Didn't notice if there was a Crack or not but when I left work there it was. Anyone know if they make the windshields with the antennas anymore? And where is a good place to get a windshield? Local glass shop or someplace online?- TubeTruck

HVAC vacuum from LS
Since winter is coming, heat and a defroster would be nice. How did you guys with an LS hook up the vacuum line? I'm thinking about using the push-to-connect port on the back of the intake. I can't find any other vacuum sources.- TubeTruck

Hydroboost conversion - question on booster parts
The outrod is this rod that sticks out and pushed on the piston inside the master. As you can see it's held in by a star washer, which actually keeps the rod centered, and there is a spring behind that. Different years have different sized rods. Sometimes you need to play mix and match.- TubeTruck

What have you done to your square lately??
From my experience it applies a lot more pressure than the vacuum booster, a better pedal feel, albeit slightly touchy, and better stopping power. I used the hydraboost with a 1/2 ton master and 1/2 ton brakes, then 1/2 ton master with 3/4 ton 4 wheel disc, then the 3/4 ton 4 wheel disc master... -

What have you done to your square lately??
Not exactly. I had removed the vacuum booster when I got the truck and installed a hydraboost that I got out of a 1979 K30. It was working for the first year or so and started leaking. A drip at first then it got to the point where I was filling the reservoir every day, lol. I tried rebuilding... -

Seat Belt Question
I replaced my seat belts with the ones from LMC. Although I was under "1978 Suburban" I think they fit a pickup a lot better. I wish the female ends were factory length, they are 1-2" longer. And the retractor locks up unless you pull them super slow. I kept my factory belts. Maybe someday... -
Wheel choices for 4x4
They do clear the rear drums with the correct offset, and to clear the front calipers you need to grind about 1/2" deep from the center cast line to the outside. Wheelers do it all the time and it doesn't hurt the caliper at all. No idea why GM made them so thick. OP: Granted I have 8 lug but...
