What year/model GMs should you look for to pilfer the hydroboost thing?

GM has used hydroboost since the late 70's on 1-tons and diesels.

Here's a writeup:

BTW, I converted my 95 F350 to hydroboost (F450 parts) earlier this year - big improvement there also.

I put a chevy hydroboost in my first gen 2 years ago. It made a nice improvement, but the brakes still suck. We'll see how the new stuff compares later this week.
