I've been perusing the archives for info on the Treadle vac unit power brakes and basically what little I've learned is that they are difficult and expensive to rebuild. Not a lot of warm and fuzzy remarks about the unit either. Any updated comments on these units? Yea or neh?

    I've rebuilt several. It is not difficult.

    Rebuild Kits are available from Kanters with Instructions
  • GM/GMC used the treadle vac brakes well into the 1980s. I had an 80 model GMC pick up with them and never had any problems with it.
