Howdy all. Thought I would mention for folks working on "Big Bolt" brakes that there is a rebuilt Hydrovac listed on Ebay for $150 plus shipping. It's a "Buy if Now" price, so no bid is needed. You can just buy it.

I needed one for my 59 Viking (turns out it needed brake work two owners ago..they told me they just used the hand brake to stop it!) After comparing photos and researching part numbers, I bought one of these from the fellow..he lists it as a replacement for White and Studebaker trucks. Turned out it's also a direct replacement for the 59 Chevy Viking as well. I recieved the one I bought from him very quickly, two days if I remember right. I live in New Mexico, only one state away from the seller. After researching rebuild kits and rebuilt units from Napa and others, I figured $150 for one already rebuilt was a pretty good deal, and no core charge. He only has one left. Someone might be able to use it.
