I have run a number of trucks with air brakes, over the years, and tore several air lines off as well. The air brakes will, as we all know, automatically lock up when the air pressure drops below about 60 PSI. However, with a good compressor, they will usually keep working in spite of the leak...

Looks good to me. I never was a Dodge fan until I bought my first one (M882). Bought another one this year. So, was there rust under the aluminum plates, in the floorboard ? Your plans for this truck sound good. Keep us posted on the operation as you go along. I am real curious to see...

Looks good. Get a good price on it ?

Steve, Can't speak specifically on a 602 Continental, but have done this several times on Red Diamond engines (IHC) , as quite often, after sitting up, the mainfolds would be eat away from rust/heat. Even had to build a few of them up with brass, then mill them off. I have seen a few...

I'll probably be throwed off of this list,(lol) for saying this, but, you can, if you're real desperate, get one through Advance Auto Parts, if you have one in your area? And, I'm sure other parts houses as well. About 3 or 4 years ago, mine went on the fritz and Advance quoted $199 for a...
