ThaddeusW Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 My truck does not have a low air warning device. I figure it was not a requirement in 1961 so it shouldn't be a big deal. But I plan on cleaning up the air lines soon, few leaks behind the dash spewing oil out little by little, its a mess back there. In the process I figure it would be good to have a low air warning wig wag or similar device.were low air warning devices required in 1961?Do I need to update the system and add one? (from my tires post, 41 chevy posted a list that points to yes)What low air warning devices were common in those days? I know of the wig wag that is mounted to the roof and would drop down if the air was low, were there any others? Quote -Thad What America needs is less bull and more Bulldog!

You are required to have what was required in 1961. My mixer has a Low Air warning light that was added next to the gauge. It is wired to a pressure switch mounted in the primary air tank. The wiring and switch are definatly an add on.
