Saw this in a 63 Chevy truck in a junkyard.

I dont know but that is scary!

Some kind of hydraulic assisted brake booster?

I have one on my truck. It is the accessory Midland Vacuum Brake Booster. Works well. I wouldn't mind another one. My original instruction sheet has it mounted on the inner fender.

I am going back to the yard. It's about 5 miles from my house. Believe it or not they don't have a phone number. If it's something you want I'll see if I can help you get it.

I'd like to have it for my K10 project. Any seat belts in that truck?

As one very knowledgeable friend told me, " If you find one accessory you'll find more ". "Customers rarely ordered just one accessory". Sorry I can't help it, it's this dam 63 truck addiction.
