Its amazing how rust free that 7000 is. I undercoat all my vehicles with fluid film yearly. Some get fluid film and don't go on the road during the winter at all. My 2003 has never seen bad roads, it's like brand new. Once the 72 is done, it won't either.
I have a B600 1989 it has LG brakes, and I want to swap to air. I'm thinking I can swap the hydraulic booster system for an air system that's belt driven, can possibly feed oil to cool and lubricate from the engine.
Where they Lucas girling brakes tho. The biggest pain in the ass with Lucas girling is adjusting the brakes. If they were air it was probably just a regular air brake design. Witch can't really get any more simple to adjust.
Yes Lucas girling air parking brake and juice master cylinder. Mine is a wrecker and I do a lot of recovery’s with it on asphalt so I can’t be digging into the road like the old days. I have a disc brake rear end I’d like to put in but I haven’t been able to find a way to convert my air parking brake to the disc rear end. Or had the time. And my spring brake worked great holding the truck. I hate drum drive shaft brakes. Guys forget to release and burn your truck down.
Interesting. Alot of different configurations. I watched a guy put a school bus rear under his truck to eliminate this style of brake. I think it was all air . Im going to take this truck apart next year and put the tilt bed on a semi.

It sure is. I had already payed for it when I realized how clean it was
It’s air and hydraulic.

@@honeybadgeractual5734 I've heard of it being done, sounds like a lot of work. I would like to see how it turns out
Not all of them are hydraulic some are air. I’ve had two out of those axles that were air not hydraulic.
