Some confusion.

Hydroboost brake booster uses power steering pressure as assist. http://littlekeylime.com/MrN/img/hydroboost/hydroboost.png
Hydrovac uses vacuum as the assist. http://dave78chieftain.zxq.net/Hydrovac/HydrovacOperation.jpg

Old trucks may have had hydrovac boosters, and new ones including most all diesel pickups commonly use hydroboost.
