What are the large cannisters attached to the front backing plates on a 56' 1/2T pickup? Thanks, Mark

Canisters?? Do you have a picture of what your asking about? I have a '55 Chevy (identical brake system), no canister on them.

Road dampening system. Only offered on the GMCs. The idea behind it is the axle vibrates at a certain freequency, the dappeners vibrate at the same freequency, but opposite the axle, canceling all vibrations out and making for a smoother ride.
