Now I am not sure what I have. I replaced the MC about 3 years ago and I honestly don't remember if I ordered a Chevy or Ford MC. I will measure bolt spacing in the morning.

I have photos but for some reason I can not upload with Tapatalk.

Not sure when Dodge went to Hydroboost but my 93 is vacuum assist.

Dodge converted their diesel trucks to h-boost in '97 or '98 as memory serves. My buddy with a '96 on our Nevada expedition last week is also vacuum boosted. I've helped him round up all the parts to do the conversion on his.

Ford started h-boost in the early '90s on the Super Duty trucks when they were a separate model from the F250/F350 trucks. The F250s/F350s got h-boost in '99 when the new trucks were introduced.

As Paul noted, GM started using it first - back in '73 or '74 on heavy duty light trucks (1 tons and such).
