question about the air hook ups on the rear

[cessnatwin]

If I want to get an air hose and be able to hook it up on the rear glad hands on my m35a2, what do you call the adapting end? what do I ask for at NAPA, cause they were clueless even after looking at it?

Go to a truck stop. They will have the ends there. You need a glad hand for the emergency side. It should be the red one. Just take the glad hand to the local hardware and get match the glad hand to the air hose. The truck stop should also have inflation hoses that attach to the glad hand.

Go to a truck stop and for $20.00, the last time I checked, you can get the entire setup needed glad hand to tire chuck with 50 feet of hose.

When I put one together from scratch, I spent $50.00 on the parts at two or three different stores.

NAPA was clueless about a gladhand? I could believe this of some of the other parts houses, but not NAPA. Go to a truckstop as suggested earlier, they'll have it hanging on the wall with all the other cool trucker stuff.

Glad hands are the same for service/emergency, attached to the truck or hose. There will be a bucket of them at any truck parts supply house. Cost about $4. 1/2" female NPT threads.

My Local Napa didn't know they carried 24V bulbs until I gave them the part #.

They have a big bucket of them at the Pilot truck stop here. Any truck stop should do.

Just make sure the gladhand you get has the rubber bushing in it otherwise it won't be worth much.

I also bought a air gauge w/ air chuck and quick disconects to go back and forth with a air gun. I like to blow out the pocket that holds water above trunnion bearing between the two rear axles.
