I am rebuilding the braking system on a 1957 K6-W300 old style Dodge Power Wagon. I have purchased parts and I am interested in obtaining literature or service manuals for this model that will explain the steps required. My plans are to replace wheel cylinders, lines and master cylinder and then use silicone brake fluid in lieu of the original. Does anyone have experience on this type of project or specific information on this vehicle? This vehicle was purchased new and customized with a FARRAR fire truck body (Woodville, Mass.), with dual electric hose reels, pto-driven pump, 300 gallon water tank and ladder racks. It is all original and has 4500 miles on the odometer. It was in service with the Troy, NH fire department until purchased by my father in 1992.
I would also be interested in any literature concerning the FARRAR Manufacturing Company.
