Years ago, I installed a vacuum booster on a '37 Ford fire truck. As with most small town and rural trucks, it had a large water tank on board. The weight caused considerable problems in getting the truck stopped even after an extensive overhaul of the stock system. The booster magnified the pedal pressure, but it still made most runs the "white knuckle" type. Any truck above the pickup size is an ideal candidate for hydraulic conversion to be safely driven, particularly if any load s carried.

Wow nice work it sure is clean... I just bought a 37 firetruck and looking at the photos of your hood alignment is it normal to be off like that, mine is also off a bit to the point I was wondering was it the wrong year hood?

Maybe someday mine will look half as good. I've decided to put the cable brakes back on mine. A previous owner installed juice brakes and they really cobbled it up. Worked on the king pins yesterday and I have the wrong replacement kit.
