hydrovac lubrication
I have a manual that says the hydrovac should be lubed with Bendix B-K Vacuum Cylinder Oil. Does anyone know where to get this stuff or what a modern equivalent would be?

Re: hydrovac lubrication
I posted this same question on another site. The answer I got was that the lubricant is no longer available under that name. The substitute is Permatex Jack Hydraulic Oil. It can also be used in the shock absorbers.

Re: hydrovac lubrication
Hello John,
Thanks for this information. Are you advanced in your works on your Chevy? On mine, everything has been disassembled and I begin the sand-blast of the frame next weed-end. The engine, transmission, trasfer case, axles, steering box are rebuit and by October, all the mechanical parts will be re-installed and painted OD. The cab needs some body works and I have a mate who is an expert in this kind of works. I made a realy ground up rebuilt and I expect to drive my truck in July 2010.
Best regards

Re: hydrovac lubrication
Bill-Yes I am very well along with my truck. It's plated, insured, on the road and runs well. My only drawback is that I do not have the correct cargo bed. I have hopefully found one but I have to see if I can arrange shipping.
