Re: 1969 GMC 8500 fire truck
Sure does, has standard Stopmaster wedge brakes. Not sure why they didn't get the optional fail-safe type. They work pretty good since the truck doesn't have many miles on it, and the linings have plenty of meat on them as does the parking brake. When I got the truck the parking brake pivot on the transmission was rusted tight. After some PB Blaster, removing the parts and cleaning them I got it working. I looked in the binder again and found some more cool documents. National Foam sent them a list showing the options of a basic 8500 and DuPont had several things upgraded:
Power steering $231
Air brakes $440
Heater and defroster $66
85 amp hr. battery $15
62 amp alternator $66
Front tow eyes $28
Mud and snow tires, rear $154
Two underhood work lights (installed by National Foam) $18
Spare tire and wheel(long gone, no telling where it went) $154
Cab mounted spot lights (installed by National Foam) $106
Rear tow loops (installed by National Foam) $50
The truck cab and chassis cost $8,198.17 delivered to National Foam, I couldn't find the total price for the truck when it was finished.
