I would offer this bit of information.  The M-5's wheel cylinders and
braking components can be overhauled by Brake Systems, Inc.  In Portland,
Oregon.  The Owner of the company is the NW Chapter President of ATHS, and
also the President of the PNW Truck Museum in Brooks, Oregon.  I would
contact him about helping with the M-5's brake woes.  Terry's company has
been instrumental in the restoration of many antique and collector trucks
over the years.
