Hydro Boost from 2001 Astro Van?

I found a 2001 Astro van with hydro boost in the yard. It’s AWD, disc front drum rear. Do I want to pull just the booster and use a different master cyl if I am running disc front and rear? Do any of the hoses or fittings do me any good?

probably work, but you’ll need to ditch the angled firewall mount.

Is there a reason to use this over one from a pickup? I’ve read a bunch of places where people recommend the Astro ones but I don’t know specifically why

Also interested in what needs to be salvaged from one of these rigs. I found a astro that I can pull one from last summer

too much HB and brakes are touchey and put you thru the windshield when applied gets to be a drag after a while, astrovan HB's fit and work great with FSJ's

Makes perfect sense. Thanks!

I have that same booster in my 68 bronco. It will lock up the 35” tires . Awesome upgrade. I used a master cylinder from a 77 camaro
