Checked the truck today that I posted about in Tales. Has the 345, easily verified from the helpful information others gave. Was stamped right on that block behind the fuel pump.
Really surprised by the minimalist approach to stopping this truck was given. All the brakes are hanging off that one little line? See photo. I guess you could yank on that big parking brake if you got into trouble and hope that works. At the moment, it wouldn't.
So the pedal goes to the floor, no resistance. How would you go about building pedal pressure? Take off wheels and start knocking on brake parts, or just dump fluid in the little reservoir and give that a try? Or neither? Truck has currently been sitting for eight years. Thought it was longer at first.
