Including brake chambers, airbags, different bushings, windshields, all the chrome trim including front bumper etc. Next big step is rebuilding the engine I already have the most new parts for either. After it's done the most extensive and "sleaky" job is expected - I will need to part out my running tru

newer brakes canisters use a 2-chamber design. One has a diaphragm which uses compressed air to actuate the brake. The other chamber has a diaphragm with air going to one side and a compression spring on the other side. This second chamber is the parking/emergency brake. The 2nd diaphragm is pushed down to release by pressing the release valve in the cab. If the air pressure drops, the spring will automatically apply the brake. These brake units typically have a "caging" bolt which allows you to manually compress the spring and release the emergency/parking brake. Many older trucks
