Maxidyne Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Should be a yellow emergency brake button next to the red tractor protection valve button... Where'd it go?

terry Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Might be the valve above it with a different knob on it. terry Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/52067-astro-needs-a-new-home/#findComment-388781 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxidyne Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Original was probably a yellow square button, the black button is probably a generic replacement.

66dc75 Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 Just a shot in the dark but I'm looking for a new passenger side windshield for this Astro. Glass companies are having a tough time finding one but I don't think it's going to be something in an online inventory. There's probably some around but they are probably forgotten in the back of a warehouse somewhere.

david wild Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 May be your not that old but I think the black is factory, later they became yellow, drove many with black buttons, Ford F750 has factory black, I think I had B model with black.

david wild Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 For Astro glass I would call some of the old dealers in Maine, like O'conner or someone like that, back in the day there were a lot of Astros hauling spuds out of Maine.

66dc75 Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share Posted January 16, 2018 Got a call from Hagerty insurance today, they found the glass and they are having it shipped to a local glass shop for install. The claims guy has been really good to deal with. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/52067-astro-needs-a-new-home/#findComment-389784 Share on other sites More sharing options...
