however, the factory brakes are horrible, they were an old design in 1946. If you compare brake designs with other trucks of the SAME VINTAGE, they nearly all used a self-energizing design, which gives much better control and power.

I am amazed you do not have a dusty tome outlining the basics of brake design.

Why don't you google, "self-energizing brakes"? It may be enlightening.

Have a wonderful evening, Mr. Stone.
