You could always just do away with the vacume booster and to a new style Power Stroke diesel hydrobooster and MC combo and run it off your PS, they take up way less room and could be found in good shape on ebay or the junkyard. I bought one off ebay for 100 bucks, all you have to do is fab up a mounting plate. This place was one of the better places I talked to and he was willing to do a complete setup hoses and everything for my 70 crew. http://www.hydratechbraking.com/

The mounting bolt pattern to the M/C booster is the same for a disc/drum as a disc/disc.
My 89 GMC and a 90 F450 both with Hydroboosters had the power steering pump fail and boom no brakes and stiff steering. I am very unhappy with Hydroboosters that boost from the power steering pump. SO on my 89 GM Boom Truck I had another pump put on and two sets of lines with check valves to stop fluid loss if one pump fails.
Still toying with moving the boom and utility box to my F-350.
