[quote/]so im trying to do some pre planning, my question is, where and how do i conect the factory ford vacume lines, and since the truck has hydro boost brakes do i plum it into the powersteering lines like on my dodge? thanks[/quote]

You just need to connect you're hydroboost line and that it, no vacuum lines to connect.

I ended up using a Ford 6.0L powersteering pump because of clearance issues with my steering box.

 

If you want to use the auto locking hubs (push button 4wd) you'll want vacuum, and the hvac I think needs vacuum, not 100% on that though. Does the commonrail have a vacuum pump?

 

Many SD trucks have an electric vacuum pump. Probably easier to retrofit one of those if the common rail doesn't have one.

 

thanks for the info, i looked around and found the vac. system. been a few slow days, waiting on parts, paint, weather, etc. i started tearing the ford apart today and was able to get it all but pulled in 8 hrs. the powerstroke is suspended by the crane waiting for the cab to be raised 6". the turbo had no play but there was oil everywhere in the inter cooler and the plumbing. so we are going to put new seals in it before we stick the turbo in the 97 f250 and swap the heads over to it as well. here's the pics, enjoy

 

no vac pump seen on the cummins, but here is a pic that made me laugh, even without being on the truck the hood still had some horses under it!
