55.2-59 1958 Apache 3800 Hydrovac

someone here used an old master cylinder, bored right through as a forward mount for the booster, the pushrod went right through the master cylinder in it's stock location and followed along a space to where the booster was located further back.;

That's an ingenious solution. Very creative.

I just went thru the Hydrovac experience. I have a 1982 Ford F700 dump truck. I had to replace the Hydrovac unit as well as the dash mounted master cylinder. My Daughter who is the manager at my local O'REILLY's was able to get me a rebuilt Hydrovac for about $200.00. I'm glad I went this way rather than changing to a different type of brake system, the brakes now work great. But bleed the system was a little tricky. There is an extra bleeder valve under the cab that needs to be bled first, then farthest wheel working your way to the nearest. I did use a pressure bleeder
