I have made some progress the last couple of days.
Got the old shocks off and the new ones on.
Noticed the rear bump stop/spring thing-a-majigs were wasted.
Got some new ones even though I plan to ditch this rear-end around fall for the 10.5.
Rear suspension is looking alot better. I hope the way it drives reflects the time and money invested.
It seems to sit higher with the new shocks on all 4 corners.
I got the junkyard hydroboost pedal cleaned up, the pin is closer to the pivot on the Hydroboost pedal on the left.
I cleaned and test fit the booster and master cylinder.
With the right parts Hydroboost is a bolt-on swap for a G1500 Express.
My harness was a mess due to lack of space when doing the 0411 swap a few years ago. I started cleaning up that aspect of the harmess but in doing so basically am having to do the swap over again.
PCM back in the holder only have the "BLUE" side left to rework, install the hydraulic hoses, install the booster, bleed the brakes, and hope the engine starts and everything works correctly after the wiring harness work. This project has kicked my butt! Oh and I finally ordered wiper cowls and grille clips that GM wants a small fortune for.
