I found a set of clutch pedals, I’m not 100% sure that I’ll use them, it had hydro boost brakes, if I were to use them do I need to get anything off the booster? I would want to put a new one on and not reuse old junk. The truck I got the pedal assembly out of had been swapped to standard and they had this goofy link rod down through the floor board, is anyone good enough with these to know if this was originally a hydraulic pedal assembly or is it just a Jerry rigged manual pedal.

A better picture.

Is there a way to keep my vacuum brakes without converting to hydro boost or should I just suck it up if I determine I’m using these and swap it all over to hydro?

The hydraulic clutch would have used a 1-piece pedal, rather than your 2-piece pedal that's bolted together. It also would not have had the large yellow spring. So this was never a hydraulic clutch pedal.

As for the brake pedal, they're interchangeable. You can take your current (squarebody) vacuum-boost pedal and install it in that bracket. The small return spring and cover will not be used and can be removed. You will find that you're missing 2 studs on the firewall end of the bracket (hydroboost bracket has 2, vacuum boost bracket has 4), so you will need to add 2 bolts (perhaps by grabbing 2 from your old bracket, they're just tacked in place).

If you decide to buy a new hydrobooster, it should bolt directly on without issues (keep the rod on the pedal). Your master cylinder would not be a direct fit, but everything else should work.
