i have s faulty brake booster on my 1965 f600.I have checked several parts suppliers with no results.Does anyone know where i could get one or have mine rebuilt?

 

See if you can find a manufacturer and model on it. In this thread, ND gives info for '61-'62, so the '65 is probably different.

The link to Karps in that thread does not work. This one does:

Thanks alot i will contact them

 

1965/66 F500/600

Ford: C4TZ-2005-M ~ Midland-Ross: C-4029-J .. P/B Booster-Diaphragm Type ~ 11.50" diameter ~ Mounted on firewall / Obsolete

GREEN SALES CO. in Cincinnati OH has (2) C4TZ-2005-M = 800-543-4959. These might be authorized FoMoCo rebuilder rebuilts.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C4TZ-2309-A .. P/B Booster Repair Kit / Obsolete

No Ford Dealer or obsolete parts vndor has any.
----------------------------------------------
I have a 1999 edition of GPD's (Genuine Parts Distributor) Rebuilt Parts Catalog.

GPD is the west coast FoMoCo authorized rebuilder, located in the City of Industry CA (LA County-40 miles east of the beach).

They list C4TZ-2005-MX P/B booster. The X refers to rebuilt. Dunno if they still have any 13 years after the fact, but you could call 'em and ask: 800-669-6012.

I used to live in Santa Monica, seconds from the beach. Now I live 40 miles east of the beach in Hacienda Heights, south of and 3 minutes from the City of Industry.

 

Firewall mount OR frame mount under cab?

 

No Ford truck parts catalog listing for a Hydro-Vac (remote mounted booster) for a 1965/66 F500/600 unless they are model 84 Open Drive-Away Chassis & Cowl (no cab, no windshield).

I would think that if the OP has such a thing, he would have said so.

 

That would be another one of your catalog errors, Bill.

I'm not saying he has Hydro-Vac though. I don't know which he has.

 

It's not a catalog error, it's my error. I only looked at the 1965 applications, which are out of sequence, as are most of the other listings.

Bottom of same page lists a 12.75" diameter Bendix Hydro-Vac for 1963/70 F500/850 with single hydraulic vacuum brakes. Ford: DOTZ-2005-B (replaced C3TZ-2005-S) / Bendix: 2503258

Since OP hasn't responded in 2 days and was given another source (post 2). I'm not going to look for this booster or its kit unless requested to do so.

 

Thanks everyone for your help.I just got chance to review all of your replies,have been extra busy.It is a single master cylinder with a firewall mounted vacuum booster.I am out of town right now,when I get home i will remove it and look for numbers and meaure it.Again,thanks for all your replies.

 

We gotta know the symtons. If you have a hard pedal with no assist, before
going crazy go inside pull back the rubber boot and spray in there with pb
blaster or something. We had a lot of trouble with those, there is a sliding
like sleeve in there, actuated by the pedal that tends to get gummy and
stickey , this is what triggers vac. assist. Beleive me we had a fleet of
these, and if you really get stuck - go to a regular master cyl (standard
brakes) and hang a booster in the frame available at Napa. What happens
over time, brake fluid manages to weep in there over time and gets that
white powder stuff we all see on gummed up wheel cylinders.

 

The problem is the engine was idling high and as i was checking for vacuum leaks with carb clean, and when i sprayed at rear of booster i almost killed the engine.Also,the pedal is hard.

 

DID U EVER FIND A POWER BRAKE BOOSTER FOR YOUR F600? I HAVE A 1965 F600 THAT NEEDS A POWER BRAKE BOOSTER? I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND ONE ONLINE...

 

Welcome to FTE.

Which kind do you need, the firewall mounted or frame mounted? Do you know what model you have now?

See post two and other posts here for sources etc.

 

NOT SURE WHICH KIND IT IS BUT EITHER WAY I HAVEN'T FOUND ANYONE WHO IS CARRYING IT...DO U KNOW OF ANYBODY THAT SELLS EITHER ONE?

 

If you don't know what kind it is, how do you know no one has it?

Find out the model that you have and post it up.
