Marty, that is very common for trucks of that vintage. Back in the 70's I drove a '62 Emeryville, a '62 Freightliner, '65 IH conventional, and a '66 White conventional, all with no front brakes. I owned a '67 White cabover with no front brakes. A good friend has a '59 Autocar with no front brakes and it has a tag axle! I drove it across OK City once with the tag up, yeah, it was a little snakey!
