    359th Trans Company Gun Trucks, Viet Nam

    359th Trans Company Gun Trucks, Viet Nam

    Because we could get away with it! Back then in Nam we wanted to look bad ass and put pin stripes and great pictures on them.

    I just took my old ones to NAPA and got the same length and snaped them on. So I would say there just wipers but the Arms that is a different story.

    I noticed the air low just sitting with my foot on the brake a little idling. Does not leak when pushing the pedal down. My buzzer comes on around 80 PSI a little early should be closer to 65-70 psi? Other then that I notice no difference in the braking action or air staying up. The compressor...
