Re: [VAC] Re: [a/s] 75 Aitsream Brake system follow-up

A follow up to your follow up

I have a 77 Overlander that has had very little road use since new, and is
equipped with Hydravac brakes.  I'm planning to remove the whole enchalada
and convert to electric brakes this summer.  Does anyone have a desire to
purchase the removed part(s) from my system?  If so, please let me know.
