What would a telephone earth boring truck be worth if you could find one in decent shape?
I was looking through some of my grandfather's WW2 pictures and look what I found at the bottom of this pic. I believe it was taken on Mactan Island, Philippines.
I have lived in the country and had to move to the city when I left home at 18. Very much miss living away from town and if the opportunity presents itself, I will move out of town.
Did the 40 mile each way commute for 5 years. It does get old, but you can adjust to it. Sometimes the drive is...

With your brakes locking up like that, you need to check your master cylinder spring. If it has this check valve on it, you have a problem. The check valve is in the Airpak and should not be in the master cylinder.
Welcome to the forum. That's great you got the truck up and running! Definitely looking forward to seeing pictures and YouTube videos of the truck running and driving.
Vintage Wiring of Maine can build new wire harness for these trucks. I will probably be ordering from them soon as well...
