I have a 1945 (yes, first civilian production BEFORE the end of WWII)
International Harvester KB-6 truck. The Hydrovac added in the later 1940's
or very early 1950's is in need of rebuilding if I am to consider putting it
back in use. Can anyone tell me who does such rebuilds now? I had a place
that did them in the early 1980's relatively local to me in the SF Bay Area,
but I believe they are no longer in business - I can't understand why not
since it is only 28 years later! LOL.
     This is also pertinent to some of my Hydrovac equipped Studebakers and
the 1963 F500 as well. I am unaware of any tractors with Hydrovacs though.
