Hydrovac Brake Booster Questions

[AngryPirate]

So, I'd like to keep my 60 GMC 1000 series some what original equipment and I noticed the hydrovac (midland?) was probably the brake booster used on this truck originally.

A couple questions:

1. Can this be used on a truck that has the clutch and brake master cylinder? I *think* this might be possible since it appears that the booster is 'remote' and not installed directly to the master cylinder.

2. I know it uses the vacuum from the carburetor, would my Stromburg WW2 work with this?

3. Does anyone have pictures of one of these installed on their 1/2 ton CHevy or GMC?

4. Things to look out for with these?

5. Rebuild yourself or send it to someone? If send it, recommendations?


Thanks for any details with this.
