    Wow, those boot/knuckle shields are beefy. I was thinking "where are the boots??" Sure well protected. Western Canadian Rockwell?

    There is a ball valve in the plumbing hidden behind the bumperette. Verify that this valve is on. They can get very stiff due to non-use. Also, the rubber seal on the gladhand can become hard. Every truck stop carries replacement seals.

    The "Service" gladhand pressurizes when the service brakes are activated (i.e. the brake pedal is depressed), the "emergency" gladhand delivers air all the time.

    I cannot say I have ever seen a set for the M35A3. The cut would have to be different compared to the A2 as well. They fitted the arctic heaters in the M35A3 as well ( the ones that roast you even with the windows open). A competent upholsterer or commercial tarp guy could be able to measure...

    Locate the upper radiator hose. Where the hose attaches to the engine, move towards the firewall about 3 inches. Round shaped thing with a hex and a single insulated wire connection. This pic (WhiteOwl parts) might help:

    The technical term is "Super Rope" and it is 5/16 EPDM. 3/8 will work as well. If you can get it locally from a trailer or tarp supply it would likely be more cost efficient, methinks. You need about 50ft to do the whole truck. A bit more if you need to do a soft top, too. Otherwise, the usual...

    FWIW I have been running 80/90 in the diffs; no issues. Also @Balalala where in Canada are you?
