1943 Autocar U7144T

Experience may be the best teacher, but it’s often a hard way to learn and requires being lucky enough to survive the mistakes you make. My first experience with air brakes was in a U7144T similar to this. My truck was a closed cab model. It had a Hercules RXC 529-CID gasoline engine, a five-speed non-syncro transmission with 5th gear overdrive, a two-speed transfer-case, and an early style air-brake system with a mechanical parking brake.
