. So, you had no shoes on the back of the truck?

. Try adjusting the shoes in on the rear axle. You may have a set of drums that are worn and they won't slide off over the shoes. .

. This is the short version of how you make your own bleeder for brake systems. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/tale-of-two-deuces.209189/post-2451828

. I think you could flush them out without a lot of trouble. Especially if you build yourself a "power bleeder". There would be a minor issue if there is a lot of sand or dirt inside the brake reservoir - but maybe you could replace the master cylinder only rather than all the brake lines AND...

. Is there a reason why you can't re-use the one on your wrecker?

. Have you by chance checked the ground for the lights? Lighting on the HMMWV is grounded through the wiring harness. Where did you put your test leads for Ground? .

http://www.steelsoldiers.com/upload/5Ton/TM9-2815-207-35.pdf I scanned this TM and ran it through OCR so it can be searched. The book came from @WillWagner and the TankLand group. It is currently too large to upload, so @patracy will have to upload it into the spot where it belongs...

I also found a LeTourneau Rolling Liquid Transporter. Designed to transport fuel for Operation Willow Freeze. And I found a manual... Of sorts... It was a mission to evaluate the Transportation Corps in a winter maneuver in 1960-1961 supporting two battle groups participating in the exercise

. Congratulations!! Glad to hear that you got it fixed... .

. Wow! And it even has a "pintle" so you could haul a second one behind the first... Air Brakes - or "air connected" for sure. Looks like you have all the parts you would need to pump out the fuel. Wonder how you fill those balloon tires?
