Could you, would you Hydrovac? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My 57 1/2 ton Chevy is mildly modified and generally has a stock appearance. I've been considering installing a Hydrovac brake booster on the RH front frame rail as was available from GM but haven't been able to locate one. Today I found a reman that would cost about $250 with core and shipping. I have the factory accessory installation manual for '58 with instructions and chances are good that I could fab brackets and lines as needed for a nice install.

Just curious about this. If you saw this setup on a truck would it generate a reaction? "Wow, that's an original booster." or "What the heck is that??" Or would it not even matter?
