Dave here from First Place Auto Parts, and today is an exciting one – we're unboxing the brand new Hydro Boost unit for 73 to 87 GM square body trucks! This kit, brought to you by The Right Stuff Brake Company and available at First Place Auto Parts, promises to transform our 87 Chevrolet shop truck from manual brakes to a powerful Hydro Boost system. Join me as we explore what's inside the kit, discuss the benefits of Hydro Boost, and get ready for an installation adventure!

*Hydro Boost System Basics:*
Before diving into the kit, let's understand what Hydro Boost is. It utilizes the power steering pump's pressure to enhance braking. Unlike traditional vacuum brake boosters, Hydro Boost systems provide consistent and increased braking pressure. This is a gamechanger, especially for big block engines and aggressive cam setups.

*Advantages of Hydro Boost:*
Clears up firewall space, eliminating the need for a large vacuum brake booster.
Ideal for tight engine bays, especially with big block engines or unique setups.
Maintains braking efficiency with rowdy camshafts that reduce engine vacuum.
Gaining popularity in both pro touring builds and everyday vehicles for its effectiveness.

*Kit Components:*
Now, let's check out what's in the heavy, wellbuilt box:
Hydro Boost unit with accumulator and valving.
New matched master cylinder with adjusted bore size.
Nylon/braided hoses, rubber hoses, fittings, and tees.
New proportioning valve for balanced braking.
Various brackets, brake clevis, and brake light switch.
Master cylinder bleed kit for smooth brake bleeding.

*Upcoming Installment:*
Stay tuned for the next step – the installation guide! We'll be fitting this Hydro Boost kit onto our 87 Chevrolet shop truck, replacing the manual brakes. Follow along to witness the transformation and see how it performs on the road. We're eager to share our impressions and take you through the entire process.
