My '78 Newell had the old wedge-style air brakes. As I exited off of I-75 in Cincinatti, Ohio on a downhill exit ramp the brake actuator pulled off of the right rear and was hanging by the air line..It took a little more pedal pressure to stop but I wired it up to the axle and drove it home.
I had the whole rear brake system replaced with new S-cam brakes after that!!!
