hydroboost swap question

I'm getting ready to do a hydroboost swap on my 93 while it's down getting the drive shaft shortened from the bv swap. I have a hydroboost and master cylinder unit from a 98 cummins and a power steering pump from an 01 cummins for the dual return ports.I'm just curious if the 01 power steering pump will bolt directly up to my 93 vacuum pump. Thank yall in advance

Don't need some fany pump off a late model... Complete waste of money... Just go buy a 3/8 t and splice it in.. Works perfect for me

So you have done this swap to a first gen? I've read a little bit on it and it seems pretty straight forward. Did you run into any problems on your install? I only ask about the pump because i found a hell of a deal on another hydroboost unit and power steering pump off of an 01 and I'm gonna buy it to do the swap on my crew cab when the time comes. Figure of i get the pump in the deal and it'll bolt right on my 93, why not right?

Yes but not exactly. My swap is an 04 superduty hydroboost. I have been told that most everything accessory wise Norge cummins is backwards compatable; can someone confirm this? Any way you do this swap you will be **** glad you did! I'll be glad to get some pics and part #'s for you this afternoon, I used adapters and had hydraulic hoses made with jic fittings that way I didn't have to figure out what hose set to purchase...

Ashamed of what you wrote? I would hope you were a better fabricator than me! Your only what 100 years old? I never claimed to be some awesome fabricator... Simply pointing out the fact that for some reason you have a grudge with me and called me out over a typo and in the next post you had a typo! Get off me... I did nothing to you!

Me I stated in the other post that I was just giving you a hard time.

"Ashamed of what you wrote?" No I just decided I was inappropriate.

"Your only what 100 years old?" where did THAT come from?

I didn't call you out over anything. I asked a question. I still have no clue what Norge was supposed to mean!

Look don't take things so serious.It's not good for your health.

Yeah really I did the one in my 42 jeep 3 or 4 and used a "T " fitting and have had no problems. And with 488;1 gears and 31" tires it spins pretty fast
