All the technical issues that Howard mention about converting aside, these are not prone to sudden failure and I've ever had it happen in over 40 years of driving Packards with Treadlevac. Not that they haven't worn out - they have - but not suddenly and when it did happen it was always from lack of maintenance on my part. One is supposed to flush the brake system regularly but few people do. To me, such a conversion is a waste of time when the Packard had good engineering to begin with.

Having said that, if you decide to move forward with the project if sure you'll receive all the help and technical support you need from the kind people here so no worries in that regard. It might even be a fun challenge so I don't mean to discourage you from trying if you're keen on it. Whichever path you take, I'm sure you'll enjoy the results.
