Mine was neither so far as I can remember. It's a GM truck piece that someone revalved. Hardest part was the metric to standard adapter on the steering box that I remember!

I wouldn't worry about a hydraboost unless you've got an enormous camshaft with no vacuum. If you do you'll hate your truck so much you won't drive it anyway, so it solves the braking problem on its own.

Normal cam and normal vacuum booster would be my suggestion.
