I know 1988 had the power steering pump assist but I'm looking at a parts truck on E-Bay that the owner does not know if it has Hydravac. It's a 1986. I'd hate to spend the money, drive 150 miles & find it has Hydravac.

Reminds me of early Chrysler PS. And then there is the question of a belt breaking and then both the steering and brakes go away. No thanks. I'll take mine straight up if you please. Might as well interface the PW with the transmission. I don't think it was received well by the public either. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 176 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 176 | I believe that 1973 was the first year of hydroboost in the c50 up. My 70 C50 has hydrovacs, Pretty shure they changed when the body style did in 73' I have never seen one in the 80's with a hydrovac.
