I was wondering about not using the booster for a while as well.

but for now it seems to work fine. and stops good of course i have
no bed and no extra weight. i think that they would do for a show truck i will add the hydrovac later as i want to haul my old tractors on it. the single unit master and booster wont work on a 46 with the existing brake pedal and theres not room for it any way. so im going back with the orig. set up | | | | | Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 224 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 224 | here are some pictures www.physics.unc.edu/~philip/ | | | | | Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 2,549 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 2,549 | Philip, The link won't work for me. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 30 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 30 | | | | | | Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 224 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 224 | thanks im not exactly famous for my computing but i will work on it. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 581 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 581 | Philip,
I haven't searched other posts by you yet, but was this truck an emergency responder of some sort? Looks like it had a Federal Beacon up top, and is that a search light on the corner?
Being able to get in from above the drive-line is such a luxury. AND, I'm VERY jealous - I want one of the top-door mounted rear view mirrors. My fire truck had one, but it's long gone, and I haven't seen any re-makes available.
