Yep, On the booster side, the line has 2 90 bends and then goes to the steering box. That's the way I'm trying to run it and thats the way my dads truck has it.

Sometimes the hydroboosted vehicles use a different pedal to the vac brake vehicles.
You may need to get that pedal.
Does the rod connect to the pedal in a straight line?

Some of the hydroboost rods are different lengths also.
It's almost impossible to shorten them without destroying the HB unit.

The rod in your booster does appear to be longer than the one I installed. Mine had the offset bolt pattern
