Default hydro boost

Did you keep the gm hydro booster? If so was the cummins p/s pump strong enough to power your p/s and your hydro booster?

Looks good! I don't know why anybody would want to keep the stock IFS anyway? I was going to swap my 75 before it got stolen. I'm thinking of buying another 73-87 to swap all my 1st gen gear into eventually.

i had to cut about half of it out to get it to fit and it was a tight fit. but once it got in there i fabbed up some little mounts for it and it works well

Do you have any pics of the exhaust? I'm wanting to run a 5" straight pipe, but I don't think I'll be able to clear the t-case with passenger side drop. I was wondering what size you used, and how it looked.

the exhaust isnt worthy of pics its a little ugly. i was able to get 4" straight all the way through but the transfer case was the least of clearance problems. i had shackle hanger clearance problems and major firewall problems. but your truck might not have that

I'm planning to run a single stack on mine. If I can figure out a downpipe to work around the firewall and get my straight pipe past the t-case, I'll be good to go. I'm nowhere near this point yet, so it doesn't really matter. Just trying to think ahead.
