The current booster matches the black one. I know I have a 9.5 semi floater rear, but not gearing or brakes. I like the look of those lines in the link. I'm not really going to mess around with the U bolts, just cut them off and bolt on new ones. I learned the hard way not to try and undo rust-welded nuts on easily replaced parts.With particular regard to the Teflon- (PTFE-) liner "steel braided" brake hoses; I bought some from Russell that fit my K1500...sort of. They don't have the metal-tube section that the OEM hoses have, so they rub on the upper control arm. Another person on this forum suggested these instead:

Which have the formed-steel tube that routes the hose so it doesn't rub on anything. Those are what will eventually go on my K2500.
I don't know where you'd get a new SPID sticker. Ask at your local GM dealership.
Open the hood: Which booster do you have? The little one is for JN3 brakes, the big one works for JN/JB5 or JN/JB6. The larger booster comes with a bigger master cylinder, used with the better, bigger-piston calipers.
Most 1500s got the crappy 254mm (10") leading/trailing shoe drums in the back, mated to a light-duty 8.5" ring gear axle assembly originally intended for compact and intermediate cars. If you're dicking with rear U-bolts, wheel cylinders, and such, consider stuffing in a 6-lug, "light duty 3/4 ton" K2500 axle (9.5" ring gear) which has the much-better 11.x Duo-Servo rear drums and is overall MUCH stronger. You need to get matching gear ratio, and be sure to get the K2500-axle not the C2500 axle as the widths are different. You'll need a conversion U-joint in the driveshaft, and the larger U-bolt brackets that are with the "new" axle.

There's a member of the forum who has the capability to run VIN number to ascertain what options your truck has and how many other trucks, that year and model had them. His username is@1ton-o-fun( I think I have that right) and he does this as a service for our membership.So, while trying to figure out what brakes I have, I came up with a question rather than an answer. Where can i get replacement RPO stickers that haven't been eaten by wildlife? I can see the outline on the glove box door where it was and see bits of it in the hinge all chewed up, not enough there to piece together.
