I figured it out!!
The hydroboost I have is off a 2500 Van. They have the square bolt pattern and the longer rod.
I bought the setup off of a tahoe this morning.
Thanks for your input Ky.

Can someone please confirm that I got the right parts thanks. The master pump came out of a 04 HD and the power steering pump came out of a 03 hd.

I'll keep you updated about switching the mounting bracket.

If you get the bracket with the pump its not bad at all. Just install your alternator onto the new bracket. Otherwise, I think you have to remove the pulley to get to the bolts that mate the bracket to the ps pump. PITA. I could be wrong though.
The bracket is only held onto the block with 5 bolts that are not too difficult to get to.

For the record, I had the same interference with pressure hose touching the rubber boot on the R&P. I carefully bent it out of the way just enough so it won't touch.
