This shows a modern electric pump being used whereas the old ones were hand pumped but it's basically the same.

That's a lot of pumping by hand. That's if the mechanics put the handle back or another driver didn't leave it somewhere.

I drove one of these for several years. No jack, just release the latch and lift the back of the fender or grab the handle above the "MACK" and pull.

maybe these L series Dodges were just a guy or two, plus gravity, to tilt as well? two handles are next to wiper arm base on all the cabs.

Same as post #25, which I repeated (sorry - this thread is big) in my post #305

Handles are for holding on with foot in bumper to wipe windows.

Most cabovers have them

The truck techs have more than one story of someone's improperly secured television jumping through the windshield too... apparently stupidity is universal.

Look at the wheelbase on that one ditch that body put a fifth wheel and small bunk on there and that would make a great tractor.

You'd have to go to Montana just to turn around.

Someone take very good care of their farm truck, but I bet it only gets used a few times a year.
