Here is a rough translation (courtesy of freetranslation.com):

Offer here an absolutely unused and therefore mint Hydroboost for Chevy C/K packed-ups, Blazer, Astro-Van or other.  Also possibly suited to the universal retrofitting, about that more information under: hydratechbraking. com/products/

Not suitably at military M1008-M1010 in the model 81-87 or only with Adapter for tube connections. 

The Hydroboost is NO overtaken, but rather a new part - because of the long warehouse time here only as mint offered.

Still doesn't answer your question but might lead someone on the right path.

Did that answer the question...?

A hydroboost is a brake assist device that uses an hydraulic pump attached to the motor to assist the braking instead of a vacuum cylinder.  The 2500/3500 GMC/Chevy pickups have used these setups for a while.

Google it for more info.

No.  It replaces the vacuum booster in a conventional vacuum assist brake system.

They are said to give higher brake line presures than the vaccum booster.  I believe it attaches to the power steering pump.  My old 92 silverado has one, kick the brake pedal and you would send your face through the windshield.
