I owned a 1978 1 ton chevy 4wd truck and it came from the factory with Hydroboost as do my 84, 85 and 86 1 ton chevy 4wd trucks the only 1 ton chevy i have that doesnt have hydroboost is a 81 chevy van (2wd)

List price on a hydroboost unit from chevrolet is in the 600.00 area but I have a line on a NIB one from a ebay seller for 125 +25SH was thinking about getting it as a spare if i dont does someone here want the contact info ?

I seem to be collecting alot of extra brake hardware I feel like a woman at the store dont really need the part but its such a great deal 90% off the chevrolet dealer list price WHAT A SALE
