I talked to ABS Power Brake and they said that the Oldsmobile setup in the original link would be similar, however, due to the frame on the Packard, they did not think it would work. They said that they actually have a system for the 55-56 Packard that they have put on several cars in the past. They sent me some pictures of their previous installments, and I think that I will probably go with this route. The technician I talked to said they would need me to send the floor plate that the Treadle-Vac attaches to, and they would install the parts and mail them back to me. He also said that the pedal linkage would be changed to compensate for a 5:1 ratio for the pedal. He also said that the pedal would be in about the same place as the factory once installed on the car. Here are some pictures of one of their previous installs on a 56 Packard. The booster is not straight because the bolts are loose for the install.
