Tim,
I thought you should know this. My 55 doesn't make
that sound!!! I looked up the system in my 58
Chiltons auto manual. It states that there is a vent
into the cab right below the power unit push rod. It
has a filter on the vent. It could have some mud or
something over it partially blocking the air intake to
the diaphragm. It also show a test to check the
vacuum unit. It says to push brake peddle several
time until all vacuum is out of the system. Hold
brake on and start engine. The peddle should move
forward once vacuum his the booster. If not you have
a problem.
