I am looking around for a replacement hydrovac unit for my 1945 G506. There is a Co. called Vehicles of Victory that has them but I'm thinking that there has to be others and that civilian ton and a half Chevies probably used the same Hydrovac. I want to know what's out there before I buy.

Or alretta truck parts:
http://alretta.com/

I bought mine there for a reasonable price, and got it sent to Sweden together with a new master cyl.

And a very good install instruction from Geoff.

Can recommend this guy

Hi there - I recently used Reman Brakes out of Georgia to have our rebuilt. They do an excellent job and turnaround was quick. If they don't have one they can definitely rebuild yours.

You can trade in yours at Napa and pretty much any other auto part store. There are a ton of different size hydrovacs out there for the different tonnage of trucks, so there could be a difference.

Napa, really? You all must have 'super' Napa stores where you are at! Around here thats a rarity.

I can confirm the post about Reman in Atlanta, GA. I used them to rebuild the unit in my l946 two ton and it works great.
