Is this a 1985 Truck with a split brake system?

[FMJ]

I think it is...

Can anyone verify?

 

[doghead]

Yes, It should be a dual brake circuit truck. Love the description, some transmission parts in rear!

 

[54reo]

Sure is.

If all of the parts are still there.

 

[DanMartin]

Yes...that blue warranty plate is a dead giveaway. It's a USAF truck.

Looks like it comes in kit form...assemble it yourself.

Should be, but without knowing the VIN, I cant say with 100%. Look under it, if there are 2 airpacks, your set.

 

[doghead]

FMJ, did you win it?

 

[FMJ]

FMJ, did you win it?

Ahh, yeah...I did...

 

[emmado22]

My bet is it's 1987 or up.....

I thought the brake warning light on the instrument panel was the thing to look for?

The brake low pressure warning light is a kit that can be added to any truck.

The best give away is the DLA contract number. The 7th and 8th characters are ALWAYS the last two digits of the year the contract was awarded. It dosen't matter if it's a flashlight of a M1 tank.

The truck could have been made in '85 or any year after that, until the contract was filled .

Where is it? Can I be any help?

 

[FMJ]

Cannon AFB, not far from you as the map looks....most direct route goes through Roswell, but as I remember, alot of hills

What's your serial number. I've got one of it's brothers waiting for pickup at Ft. Polk. Serial number 11587. It's also a dropside but not in kit form.

My '72 came from Uncle Sam with the brake warning light.

My '72 came from Uncle Sam with the brake warning light.

I believe the same light was used as a warning lamp for the parking brake, in kit form.

I don't know the serial, so it'll have to wait till I get it home, unless the the GL rep wants to go out to the truck and get it for me.....

And I like "kits"

88K392 so it's an 88 model year, I have the rest of the VIN but since it's an AF truck even the Great Carnac can't help me with a history.

Thanks to GL Harold at Cannon AFB for getting the number for me!

Ok, mine doesn't come on with the parking brake. Only when there is low air pressure.
