Mmm, oatmeal! Thanks for the parts numbers. I have a small leak on the slave cylinder (didnt know thats what it was called till this post) so now I dont look like an idiot saying "hey, gimme one of those pushy things that squirt oil and move the clutch"

I was looking for the master cylinder on the Autozone website, the search brought up both the master & slave, so I figured I mite as well post both number. If you have an earlyer truck, the master cylinder may have a 3rd line like in the pic below, this was the set up on my 1960 LCF, that line lets brake fluid flow down to the booster under the cab, not sure what number that one would be. Anyone know?

Been working on getting some lights fixed up and added more, check out the new video.

Today, as seen in the video above, I did some work on my Rescue Squad lights.

First I install two more Rotating lights on the ploes in the back.

As can be seen here they can be adjusted up or down.

Then I installed the blue lens on the center light mounted to the cabin.

Next I changed out the lights on the front of the Cabin, the old ones have faded lens & a small incandescent light bulb. The new lens is the same used on School Buses with a large sealed beam spot lamp.

As can be seen here the lens are about the same size, but I had to cut out the back of the old light housing to get the sealed beam to fit, but it was not too hard to do.

I found a large mouse nest behind the light on the right side, I should have taken a photo of it before I pulled it out.

Here you can see how the new lens look on the front of the cabin.

I have been looking for some tires to install on 22.5" wheels, to replace the 20" lock ring wheels, I have a set of 7 tubeless 22.5" wheels, That came with the 1960 LCF I bought a while back, I'll be installing when I get time.

Three of the wheels are not on the chassis, and two of those are bad. So I started doing some tire research.

Tire on the Rescue Squad.

From what I have seen the shortest tire you can get is 255/70R22.5 which is about the same hight as the 20"s on there now. These can be pricy tires. I found one for $100, for my research, and then resold it for $100.

Next I found 2 motorhome tires for $200, they are a Michelin 235/80R22.5 this is a Michelin only tire size from what I have found out, and these tires go for over $500 each new.

I installed the new Used tires, as they have 17/32 tread, they are as close to new as you can get and still be used.
