Hydrobooster?

Hydrobooster?
Did any of the Gen1 Rams come with the hydraulic power brake booster called a Hydrobooster?
I'm looking into a project for a friend, who has a 1991 3/4 diesel 5 spd.
The truck currently has a vacuum booster and he wants to change up to a Hydrobooster. I know they were available in the Gen2 and Gen3 Rams, but if the Gen1 had the option I think it would be a much easier swap.
Thanks.

I was mainly concerned with the firewall pattern. I don't have a way to check the firewall bolt pattern without removing the booster to cross check it with Hydrobooster options, and being a daily driver that would take his truck down for too long.
My thinking was that if a Hydrobooster was a factory option in 1991 the firewall patterns between Hydroboosters and vacuum boosters would be the same.

Apparently the 1st and 2nd gen trucks didn't have hydroboost and that was something that was offered on 3rd gens.

Not a 1st gen, but I found this thread on CF:

I think the Gen2 trucks did have the option, as I have found some from various years ranging from 1998 and 2001.
If I could get his booster out then at least I could get the Hydroboosters that I am used to working with mocked up with the bolt pattern and pedal rod length, but he just can't afford to be without the truck for even a few days.
Do you happen to have a spare Gen1 Ram booster that you could take some pics and measurements from?
