Yes the rear should be rated at 22K, although it's not stamped in the VIN plate and not listed on the option sheet. It does have air brakes, they're Stopmaster wedge brakes. It has some other neat options: engine alarm system, rapid air compressor, moisture ejector valve(for the brake system), two under-hood work lights, and a factory 62 amp alternator with two regulators. One is under the hood and the other is behind the instrument panel, weird setup but it still works like it's supposed to.

I actually like the butterfly hood, looks cool at night when it's open with the work lights on. I'm a welder by trade and I have plenty of material on hand I can use on this truck to build what is missing, not a problem there. These old refinery rigs weren't built like regular pumpers were as far as storage boxes, etc. It didn't carry much equipment other than hose on top of the tank and a few nozzles, valves, and adapters that were mounted to the side of the tank and the running boards. I also have the monitor nozzle, it looks exactly like the one in the picture below. I found this on yngfire.com, the truck is identical other than the vent behind the hood and the one piece windshield which means that truck is an early to mid 1970's model. That '83 sounds like an awesome truck, a hydraulic driven generator was fairly advanced for that time period.
