Hydraulic brake booster or Vacuum brake booster ?

I have a hydraulic brake booster on a K30 that i am parting out and was wondering if this was a better set up because i might swap it in my K5

Re: Hydraulic brake booster or Vacuum brake booster ?

I have the hydrolic set-up on my 83. It was a diesel powered truck. As i understand it, the hydrolic set-up is superior to the vacuum. The system is also used in mini-school buses and heavier duty truck lines. The whole hydrolic set-up is worth some money. I priced out replacement parts at pep-boys, the pump alone they wanted 135 bucks......js

For me it would be too much of a pain to swap it all and maintain it. Vacuum is just so easy and only a few parts to maintain. It does have a 'cool' factor, and maybe you could use the hydraulics for something else...

Cruisin in my '73.
