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.

    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.
