I wonder why they say it was a bad design? I thought it worked well.. Better than the full hydro.. In my opinion..

Pretty simple from what I remember, dual circuit system. 2 t30 cans mounted to big master cyls pressurize the front and rear brakes when the pedal is pressed.

Air used to release the e brake.

Would probably be easier to convert to air rather than hydraulic. The Cab is all set up for air.. just convert the axles.. and a little plumbing..
