Thanks, Red58, for the info, and the answer! I didn't realize that these trucks had column e-brakes ... and thanks to the rest of you, I'm sure that I can definitely enjoy this site. Looking over the gallery pages alone have taught me much (but my E-brake knowledge is apparently just beginning 8) ). I doubt that it was abused that much, by the looks of it, the owner before the last just used it as a highway driver. Thanks!
