Reach between the cab and bed from the passenger side and pull the parking brake actuator towards you. There are 3 springs on the E brake, the inner pull, the outer pull and the mustache. On my truck the outer pull-back is the weakest spring. It will lock up in reverse if the outer spring...
I will give you 10 bucks if it isn't the parking brake. I had the same thing this past winter. Reach between the cab and bed from the passenger side and pull the parking brake actuator towards you. You probably just need some lube or a new return spring. Do not try to force it to release by...
You need to give the guy a couple of C notes to let you strip the goodies off it, the he could still scrap the rest. Win-Win situation! BTW, I need an ignition switch and handle that isn't wore out. I can actually move the handle on mine with the screw tight. I'd give $20 total with shipping...
Do not get discouraged using the duckbill (tire maul) for the first few hundred swings. You will miss your spot a lot, but you will get better with practice. I worked at a truck garage when I was a teen, and got to where I could change out a tire in about 10 minutes...... It would take me 2...

Thanks...
These were used to power up aircraft for starting and ground maintenance activities. They were first introduced to the USAF in the late '70's time frame and they were built by Hobart then. At that time they had a 4-53 Detroit 2 stroke with a blower. The later models may have came with a 4-71N...
I worked extensively on the -86 while in the service. They have a 4-53 detroit that is very prone to wet stacking when not loaded, and there is no way you could ever load one to clean it out (unless you had a load bank). They are 115 volt 400 hz AC 3 phase with a neutral. They are really heavy...
