Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Jan 2017 Posts: 3 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Jan 2017 Posts: 3 | I have recently acquired a '52 2-ton truck and am working on getting it road worthy. I am having trouble locating rebuild parts for the Bendix Hydrovac system. I am mostly looking for new seals, gaskets and any other rubber or leather parts that are in the unit. Can anyone direct me in any direction on this?

Food for thought.
1950 4100 - unrestored and driven weekly for almost no reason at all.

DS in VA has done a very good job for me, 276-322-3119, Jeff is the hydrovac gentleman, very knowledgeable, reasonable prices, unlike some others.

Power brakes are to nice to pass on. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2016 Posts: 264 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2016 Posts: 264 | What are differences in series? I ended up sending unit to John Stuart Brakes in Stoney Creek as I found no parts to do it myself.For other Canadians this may be an option. They wouldn't just sell parts, and I wasn't sure what the Canadian 3 ton model would cross to. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2016 Posts: 264 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2016 Posts: 264 | What are differences in series?
