76 Loadstar Brake problem
Hey guys, of course I have a brake problem. It's a typical problem I keep hearing about. I'm not sure if its a 1600 or 1700. I'm leaning to the 1600. Its GVW is 19200, and have the butterfly hood.
The problem is Im having trouble finding a hydrovac that fits it. I called Navistar and they tell me by the VIN it's a 84 CO 9600, which it's not. So they looked up a 1600 model and gave me the part number for the hydrovac. Crossed the part and ordered it and I got a booster that was firewall mounted, not frame mounted like I have. The tag on the hydrovac that I have doesn't cross with anyones parts numbers. I need a hydrovac that is frame mount for a single axle truck. Anyone have any idea how to identify this truck? Any help is appreciated.

If someone is better at looking up the VIN to identify the model let me know and I will get it to you.

There is a VIN decoder someplace on the net, but if you're just going by the frame number, it's missing a few digits, just a serial number. The complete VIN would be on the door frame, on a plate on the driver's door strike, on the dash, or some place pretty obvious. If you have the GVWR on the tag, the serial number is probably accurate. Too hard to do a body swap on a loadstar. Look at the serial number on the driver's side frame rail, just behind the front spring perch of the front spring pack. The numbers should match.
The vacuum booster under the driver's side cab is a pretty generic unit. I haven't seen any made after 68 that had one of those, since dual chamber master cylinders were required in 68 and later. My dump truck had one like that, and so does my fire truck. The later ones, just have never really looked. My 78 had hydroboost, and my 73 had air brakes.

76 Loadstar Brake problem
on my malibu, the driver side brake caliper is sticking for some reason. i completely burned up one greenstuff brake pad, funny thing is that it was the pad on the outside of the wheel.
is there anything i can do to stop it from sticking or should i just get a new caliper?
