IIRC they may have used a type 8 or 12 front diaphragms and type 24 chambers on the rears of these with air brakes.
Yeah..its something emissions i think that has dropped down from its mount dangling down with vac hoses..will try to get more pics up soon ..maybe this weekendOn your third picture there's a round object that looks like a vegetable can hanging under the right side of the front axle. Do you know what that is? I don't recognize it.
I believe that is correct..not familiar with the ford gas engines of that era but sounds about right.Now that you mention that and it being a gas truck I wonder if it's a charcoal vapor canister as found on cars from that era? That would make sense.
Gutless as in weak?..haha..hope it fires at least..i gotta go back and take a good look at the distributor..one of plug wires dont seem right..also looks like my frame is cracked in the pumpkin pic..darnit!Infamous 370 2V Two Barrel even more gutless than my 366 LP GMC
They both do tend to be Energizer bunnies running on and on and on!!!
Your right..i see it now..as it crosses the hole opening..that one was starting to turn my stomach..I have it parked just off the gravel drive a bit and lately haven't been able to really crawl around under there because of wet ground which makes slick clay mud..so just kinda pointed the phone under there and hoped for best picture.I think that crack is a ty-wrap.
Haven't thought about a chance of broke up springs in the cans..I will tend to them most certainly if at start up they dont release the spring brakes..if i do get the truck running soon I'm clueless as to what to expect the brakes to do..have watched a few YouTube videos concerning some pressure checks and test but will probably seek help from some friends with experience with them..just that the largest truck I've owned was a Ram 3/4 ton..nothing with air brakes however.if you can't get the caging bolt in properly, and the keyhole inside is cocked off to the side, it indicates the dangerous spring is broke and requires a different removal approach to remove the brake pot
