Just get me home!

1 1/2 ton ford flat bed truck, (68 I think) auto trans, single pot master cyl, up in the mountains cutting firewood. On the way down with 3 cords on it I hit the brakes to slow down for a tight bend in the road and,,, nothing! Managed to get it stopped, (miracle ) boss puled up and asked why I was driving that way and I just pointed under the back of the truck at the brake fluid running out of BOTH rear drums! Ended up I drove the thing down out of the mountains with no brakes, just kept it in low and prayed.

78 buick wagon, 400 v8 auto. Carb inlet plugged up on the far side of town. Took the needle from a veterinary syringe and some rubber hose I had in the car strapped a gas can to the roof, started gas siphoning through the needle, stuck it in a vacuum hose and drove home. Slobbering rich at idle, anything more than just off idle went lean but it got me home.

Got others but that's it for now.
