When I was stationed at Clark Air Base in 1975 & 76 I drove up to Ilocos Norte (Northern Luzon, Republic of the Philippines) and captured this priceless photo of sugar cane trucks waiting to unload at a processing plant. If you wondered what happened to all the trucks after the war, here they are.
I ran a purge line from the plug at the back of the air pack to the steering column with a valve that I open while driving and close when I need to brake. It works! You can hear air escaping constantly while driving indicating brakes will lock if not purged. This is a good way to "cheat" if...
