Air Brakes on M35A3

[Dustyh]

Is converting to air brakes on a M35A3 possible? Has anyone considered or done it and if so how much would it cost to do it. We have two A3's and are using them as wildland fire trucks and it would be nice to have air brakes vs the hard pedel of the current air over hydraulic setup.

Yup. Not worth the hassle or expense.
Just put in for a couple of 5 tons and upgrade the fleet.

Once you get your 5 tons PM me, and I'll dispose of your A3's for you!

Thanks guys but trading is not goin to be an option. Maybe several years down the road we can trade but just not goin to happen in the near future. May look into the disk brake setup, I know there is a thread on it here, I will have to check into that a little more.
