My truck does not have a low air warning device. I figure it was not a requirement in 1961 so it shouldn't be a big deal. But I plan on cleaning up the air lines soon, few leaks behind the dash spewing oil out little by little, its a mess back there. In the process I figure it would be good to have a low air warning wig wag or similar device.

were low air warning devices required in 1961?

Do I need to update the system and add one? (from my tires post, 41 chevy posted a list that points to yes)

What low air warning devices were common in those days? I know of the wig wag that is mounted to the roof and would drop down if the air was low, were there any others?

The required safety devices in the inspection is relative to the year of your truck. You are required to have what was required in 1961. My mixer has a Low Air warning light that was added next to the gauge. It is wired to a pressure switch mounted in the primary air tank. The wiring and switch are definatly an add on. Paul
