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.

Looks good to me. You'll have to move the one odd bolt in the bracket, or drill a different hole in the firewall.... Maybe switch the mounting bracket with your old booster?

I'll give that a try thanks for the help. 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.

I drilled the firewall instead it was easier.
