Hydrovac

Where can I buy a hydrovac unit for a 1975 gmc6000?
If this information is already here somewhere please don't waste your time yelling at me
Just tell me how to find it. I am a good mechanic.
Not great with computers

Re: Hydrovac

I know the hydrovac units are expensive and hard to get hold of, I'm dealing with one on a 73 C60 currently.

It's not exactly what you're asking for, but perhaps check out "Battle Born Brakes" and look at what he offers, it's a conversion kit to modern style firewall boosted brakes with a dual circuit master cylinder that's supposed to offer much better braking ability. He also offers hydroboost as an option if you have power steering on your rig. I'd post a link, but I'm not sure if that's allowed.

This is NOT an endorsement of that company, I have no experience dealing with them or their products, but it does open up an interesting avenue to all of us needing to keep these aging trucks stopping safely. I am considering going that route myself.

Re: Hydrovac

Auto parts store web sites show it so you might start there. Whether it's actually available is another question.

Re: Hydrovac

Sometimes you can get them rebuilt. Look for a 'real' truck parts place, not a chain store. NAPA's in rural areas can be pretty good.
