I know this was answered before but I can't find it. What are the differences in the 1953-1956 Bendix-Treadlevac Master Brake Cylinder and how can one tell them apart? (Yes, I know that 1952 was the first year but it's easily identifiable.)

I ask because I have a core I want to rebuild for my 1956 which I understood is from a '55 or '56 and want to know if it's the proper one. Someone (Howard, as I recall) said something about a stamping on the casing but I can find nothing there.

Don, this thread has some info on identification on page 5 (which the link should take you to), including a table out of the Bendix catalog: Treadlevac Thread
There probably is more info pertaining to ID'ing the units, but I didn't look thru the other 16 pages!

What is the reason that the back two rows of springs are encased in burlap?

Looks like trim code 83 or 84, listed on pages XVIII and XIX of the index for the 1951-54 parts list. It just shows as blue or dark gray nylon combined with light gray nylon.
The code should be stamped on the serial number plate.

My car is trim code 84, dark gray/light gray combination. I was pretty sure it was nylon and that's the piece of information I wanted to know! Thank you BDeB!

I'm trying to rescue as much of the original interior as possible. Front seat is disassembled, made a couple of repairs to the frame and gave it a coat of paint. Next is to get some new materials and start rebuilding.

Identifying Bendix-Treadlevac Master Brake Cylinder

I know this was answered before but I can't find it. What are the differences in the 1953-1956 Bendix-Treadlevac Master Brake Cylinder and how can one tell them apart? (Yes, I know that 1952 was the first year but it's easily identifiable.)

Have you talked with SMS Auto Fabrics in Oregon? They should be able to help identify the material and can probably even supply an exact match. If nothing else, they will gladly send samples.

My Fabrics are in there, but it doesn't indicate what they are made of.

my suggestion to remove the pitman arm from the drag link was to trick him into diagnosing the condition of the ball stud at the end of the pitman arm. These often have a groove worn into them. I can tell from the photo the ball stud is original by the way it is peened on. Good experience to see that it is greased otherwise...

But yes, simply pulling the pitman arm off the cross shaft can be done without detaching from the drag link.

Oh, I don’t need trickery! I’m more about shenanigans!! When I started, I was very hesitant to tackle much of anything. But with this group’s help, I’m up for MUCH more. I’m having fun and learning a ton! I’ll definitely take a look at to at least know where I’m at.

The I’m not seeing the oil pressure pick up on the gauge. Tried a couple of things after talking to Ross…I really owe him dinner or something after today.

Bought an oil pressure gauge at the auto parts and hooked it up. Same thing.

So, Ross thinks it’s likely that either they oil pump needs primed or the pickup in the pan is plugged.

So, more work to do, but today was still a very good day. Just know it runs well is awesome..

On the down side, the new fuel sending unit I put in is not working. I had tested it with the fuel gauge before installing and it was working. Then installed it, re-installed the tank, added gas….and nothing.

I’ll lower the tank (not remove) it and see if I can get to it to check the connections at the tank.

In the meantime, I’ll also tackle replacing the seal in the steering box.

Yeah, I checked the ground wire were I could. I need to check it at the tank, which means I’ll need to lower the tank to get to it.

New gauge a mechanical oil gauge? If so… should come with the white plastic line…. You’ll be able to see if oil is even coming up to the gauge that way. If not…. Could be a clogged port hole filled with thick crusty oil…. Or as Ross says…

The new gauge is mechanical. You are correct, it came with a nylon translucent tube. I can see some oil coming part way up the tube, but not far. It sounds like it should be pushing the oil to the gauge pretty quickly. I want to be careful and not cause bigger problems.

Yes original would have been down passenger’s frame rail… to that connection that goes through the frame…. Then the flex hose goes from that to the fuel pump.

Well now, that’s interesting. Clearly, my fuel line is not original. Currently, my fuel line goes across to the drivers side and then back to the rear.

Based on this, the hard-line must have gone to the rear on the passenger side.

What I have works, so I’m going to leave that alone for now. Just one more thing to add to the list of corrections to be made.
