Now thats a first for me... I wonder if this rig was an ambulance rig at one time. Otherwise I'm wondering why a person would want 2 vacuum pumps like this.

On a manual? Maybe as added insurance for power brakes?




I bet it can suck the chrome off a trailer hitch though...

Looks like the air cleaner clip has been broken for a while :/
never like seeing stuff like that. but if u end up getting it, i have an 088 airbox in decent shape.

Does this truck have a gooseneck ball or 5th wheel?? The 2nd vacuum pump could possibly be for a trailer they used that had vacuum hydraulic brakes. I know some early bigger trailers had that kind of brake set up and would definately need the extra vacuum...

Thats the ATS 088 non wastegated kit. I prefer the 093 kit and would like to find one and change out my turbo kit.
