Brake fluid heater for 60-66 trucks

Discovered this rare and unique brake fluid heater today while getting the goodies off this truck before it makes its journey to the crusher. I believe these were only installed in the north in the colder climates..... LOL

I wonder if brake failure had anything to do with why this relic ended up in the scrap yard? LOL

That's awesome!!..................and quite rare, too!

The guy obviously wanted a free-flowing brake system, because bends just restrict flow. You know, race stuff.

Very clever "improvement", but I think I'll pass on doing it to my truck!

Wrap it around once to make it more effective.
