I looked and looked in my brown manual. but I can't remember where I saw them.
Links or info help please? thanks. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 | Hy scotricker, did you want all the diagrams, or do you want to see the diagram for a specific year and size of truck? | | | | | Joined: May 2010 Posts: 132 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: May 2010 Posts: 132 | Well, I think my truck started as a 48. But there are so many Not-48 parts on it now, that I'm not sure what year the brake system is. It might have later brakes, but now I'm not sure.

My truck does not have power brakes, I'm looking for the earlier diagrams, like 48 to 53. thanks | | | | | Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 14 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 14 | | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 3,596 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 3,596 | They are also shown in pretty good detail in the 47-54 Factory Assembly manual as I recall. | | | | | Joined: May 2010 Posts: 132 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: May 2010 Posts: 132 | thanks Tommy and Brad,
I still think my truck has been set up differently than these pics.
The front line splits and goes around the radiator and over to the other front wheel.
Is that standard? Or did someone do a "custom" installation?

However the original ran under the radiator support in front. It doesn't really matter how you get to each wheel as long as you get the fluid there without leaks.
