What's been a bit puzzling to me is that the truck brakes are reversed from the cars. On a truck the single, stepped, cylinder brakes are at the front, whereas the dual cylinder brakes are at the rear.
Assuming the dual cylinder brakes afford more stopping power, it makes sense to have them up front. So why are they at the rear on the trucks? Are they figuring that when loaded the higher stopping power will be needed out back? But what about when running around empty? Now my greater braking is done at the light end of the truck. And regardless of load, when braking the weight transfers forward putting more of the weight over the front axle.
Just a thought that's been rattling around in my head since I did my brakes.
