Re: Travco 270 lost the Hydrovac brake booster
While updating my 2 M500 brake pages I was only able to locate one P/N for the rear brake adjust screw. What I do not know is if the same adjustment screw is used on both sides or if there is a left-hand and right-hand thread difference for the M500 chassis. Can anybody answer this for me?\nhttp://dave78chieftain.com/M500_73-75-RM400.html\nhttp://dave78chieftain.com/M500_76.html\n\nDave

I saw them on Napa's website. I just forgot how I looked them up. Gotta try different year/combo till you find it. NAPA pretty much still carries most of the stuff but it can be a chore to look it up. Don't expect the counter guys to do it for sure.\nI was able to get a hardware kit for mine.

Re: Travco 270 lost the Hydrovac brake booster
I have the same issue on my 1975 Travco and am wondering if that "Rock Auto" link has the correct part # in to for a replacement booster?

I did a thread on it. Rockauto had a booster that "works" cheap. It was the correct one except the rear mount was different. I swapped the back covers. 2 years , still working good.

Re: Travco 270 lost the Hydrovac brake booster
Ok so the most critical question I have is how do I confirm if I have the M400 or the M500 Chasis?\n\nI have a 1975 Dodge Travco

Re: Travco 270 lost the Hydrovac brake booster
If your vin starts with M5 it is an m500. M4 would be the M400. Most of the 270s and Mahals were the M500. I have seen pictures of the 320 on the M500 and M600.

\nWhat model ? If it's a 270 then it's an M500 most likely.Roattorevolution wrote:Ok so the most critical question I have is how do I confirm if I have the M400 or the M500 Chasis?\n\nI have a 1975 Dodge Travco
