66 N600 Hydrovac Replacement

Replacing Bendix hydrovac on a 1966 Ford N600 and going for a test drive.

[@mecamaster]

Thanks for recording and posting this, also thanks for posting where you found a replacement booster! I've got a 1975 ford F600 that was a uhaul special in one of its past lives that I'm putting back into service and even tho my brakes worked I still insisted we replace everything in the brake system before I go barrelling down the road with 18,998lbs of stuff.

[@PappProductions]

No problem! I dont blame you for going through the brake system. Your truck is going to be real fun putting it to work!

[@nickrowe9221]

NO NO NO do not use heater hose instead of vacuum hose. Heater hose will not stand up to fuel. As the vacuum hose is connected to the intake manifold there will be some fuel vapors on occasion. ALSO you need a good vacuum hose that will not collapse when the vacuum is in it for prolonged periods. This system is not like brakes today. When you lose em you lose all 4 wheels at the same time. Remember heater hose is designed to take pressure from the inside. Vacuum must do just the opposite. I'm sure you know but a check valve in the vacuum line as close to the manifold as possible will help keep gas fumes out of that line. Otherwise Great Job! love to see these older rigs rolling on the road.

So good.

Need to learn how to change gears. Ain’t no shift pattern I ever seen

[@muffs55mercury61]

When you have the weight of a bed on it, the brakes won't lock up so much.

[@bitlittle457]

Did you sell this truck

[@patriciareynolds2729]

put one on my f600-1969, went thru whole system, still weak brakes. i hear the vaccum booster vent on startup, it stops sucking when i press brake pedal. have a strong- hard pedal with weak brakes.??????

[@PappProductions]

Yalls Brazil Fords are wicked cool! Ive seen some on the world wide web. Really cool fords down there. I bet your truck is sweet!

@@PappProductions yes it was an original V8, but gasoline in the past raised to much, so nearly all owners swapped to diesel. mine have a 6 cyl mercedes 5.1l pos WWII indirect injction engine. OM321. It´s great. Simple.love it. And it´s really nice. Doing metal and paint job. Will be chocolate brown. I´m thinking in painting even the box, like the vintage ones.
