A electric vacuum pump system wouldn't be that difficult to install in the chassis if you have a small reservoir and a vacuum switch set to around 30inHg.
Presumably the actuator could also run on low-pressure compressed air, maybe 20-30 psi. Don't put too much air in or the actuator will blow up.
You could try a short stroke, dual-actuating hydraulic cyilinder (those would be found in automation suppliers) since I presume you would be running hydroboost brakes with a diesel engine. Your valving would be through a electric solonoid valve with a switch on the gearshift. That conversion would have to be a customized job where you take the actuator and replace the vacuum pancake with a hydraulic cyilinder.
