Brake fluid???????

[joho]

I have a 1971 M35A2 that is alittle low on brake fluid. should I use silicon fluid? I don't think the truck was ever refurbished. How can I tell what kind of fluid is in it?

Odds are it's DOT5. I've never encountered a deuce that didn't have BFS.

Here's how to identify it: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showth...ow-to-tell-which-kind-you-have-DOT-3-or-DOT-5

I'd keep on with the BFS.
