Re: Mechanical vacuum brake boosters
There were a lot of different pneumatic (air) vacuum brake manufacturers who made systems which could be fitted to early Ford trucks with mechanical brakes - Westinghouse-Bemdix, Vel-Vac, and Midland Christensen are just a few examples. I have a setup saved from a scrapped truck but it doesn't have a manufacturers name on it.
I doubt there are many sources of parts remaining for any of these vacuum brake systems so you may have to make your own parts.
