Wedge air brakes
 
Recently purchased a '75 Dodge D700 with Bendix air brakes. It's been sitting for a couple decades. Got the 361 gas motor started and it runs quite well. Because it runs I'd like to address the air brakes. I have learned that the air brakes are "wedge" style. Any older heavy truck mechanics that can suggest a good resource for parts/info/service manual on these type of brakes ?

For wedge air brakes on your 1975 Dodge D700, it’s important to find parts and manuals that fit the system. You can try these steps:

Contact Bendix: They may have old manuals or parts available for wedge air brakes.
Search online: Look for forums or websites that specialize in vintage trucks or air brake systems.
Visit a truck salvage yard: They might have parts or be able to direct you to resources.
Check with truck parts stores: Some may still carry parts for older systems or know where to find them.
You could also ask experienced heavy truck mechanics for advice on where to find service manuals or parts for your wedge brake system.
