Preferred source for hydroboost seal kits?

[someotherguy]

Got a leaking hydroboost on my '93 C3500 that works fine other than the leak (at the back, running down inside the firewall, as usual.) New units aren't available for my truck apparently, only rebuilds, and out of the 4 brands Rock shows only 1 is in stock and it's Cardone poop.

I'd rather re-seal my original. Any suggestions on who to go to for the seal kit that has quality parts? Thanks!

This was what was recommended to me. I haven't bought one yet but the person that recommended it has used them in the past and has no issue with the kit.

Kit-501 (2771004) Hydro-Boost Seal Repair Kit, UNIVERSAL SEAL REPAIR KIT- GM, FORD, MOPAR

Sure is. Hydraulic pressure supplied by the power steering pump.

Ok, just wanted to be sure, so I'm not trying to spend $40 on a rebuild kit for a part when I could just be ordering the new part, $480+ though it is, and have that in sooner.

I have 0 (zero) experience rebuilding one of these units so I can't advise on seal kits or PNs. As with all things, Trust & Verify.
