Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Apr 2014 Posts: 28 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Apr 2014 Posts: 28 | im new to these old trucks, this is my first one, and so im poking around to get some ideas as to what to expect, and i have come across some minor issues.
ive got a two ton, and most everything i find in the external links is for smaller trucks. do we have any links dedicated to these bigger trucks?
for example, ive seen it several times that people say that hydrovac rebuild kits are available, but the external links do not link directly to the product, and the external websites are proving impossible to navigate.
so, my first request would be for a direct link for a hydrovac rebuild kit.
on another note, ive created a website for this truck:

Midwest Power Products,Morris,Il. (815)943-0550. from what I've read,NEW costs about $100.00 more than a re-build kit.

NOBODY knows about the Bendix Type II vac.. other than they don't have them  For a 2 ton truck go for a Series III vac. Parts still available and you can find them for less than $100 on ebay. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2014 Posts: 28 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Apr 2014 Posts: 28 | alright, for the specific model that my truck has, it will be 165 for the rebuild kit, and 295 for me to mail in my unit, and have them do the work for me....add in postage to get it there, and we're looking at about 320. very awesome guy!
