Brand new to Stovebolt... I'm doing the brakes (front to back, master cyl, lines, etc...) on my '58 Chev C60 Viking 2 ton dump truck. The Hydrovac brake booster is shot - anyone know where I can get a new one?

Thanks a million,
Wooley in N. MN

I just had my hydrovac rebuilt by these guys

Karps Brake Service

These guys turned mine around in a couple of weeks and it looks brand new.

Their price was about half of what a rebuilt unit at the parts store would have been.

Welcome to the Bolt!! Good to see another Minnesotan on here. We'd also love to see pictures of your truck.

Hey Rich, Very NICE '47! I tried posting a few pict's of the '58 C-60 2 ton dumpster. haven't done this before, I hope it worked.

I wrestled with a guy from Janesville LOTS of years ago... strong program down by Mankato.
Cheers, Wooley

Ol Blue,
Karps called me today after e-mailing last night. GREAT guys and I'm sending the Hydrovac to be completely rebuilt for $199... well worth it for me - no time with 6 kids and a beautiful spring here in N. MN.

Thanks again for steering me to Karps,
Cheers, Wooley
