You need to drive a hydraulic brake truck. Take it down the biggest hill you have, fully loaded. Then try to stop half way down. After you have gotten to a stop compare that to your truck with air brakes. Unless your Ford had old wedge style air brakes I will bet the air brakes stop faster.
We used to have several straight trucks with hydraulic brakes. I usually had to spend a week each fall getting the brakes back to working right on them all. Plus you then have to keep the manual parking brake working too.
After spending several thousand dollars one fall on hydrovacs and other brake parts we sold them all that winter. We replaced them with trucks with air brakes. I don"t have to do even half the maintenance on them.
