In the 1950s what was the name Of the aftermarket hydraulic device Used in dump trucks which became the theoretical precursor Of the 60s era line Lock made by Hurst for dragracing And then adapted to stunt driving in the early 1970s. We need a marketing name of this device. HINT two words both starting with same letter. Thanks!

I'm gonna go with "Hill Holder"

Some 50's and even 60's trucks and farm equipment had "Micro locks" on them......not sure if that's what you're looking for.

Line Lock

I didn't think it would be line lock since they used that in the question. Hill holder sounds good. It's for a $500 discount to Rick Seamen Stunt Driving School in Rosamond, CA.

Standard equipment on Studebakers starting in the late '40's.

Mark! Correct answer was hill holder. Thanks guys. Thanks Mark. I don't know from where you hail but I can hook you up with a ladder program or excessive amounts of pizza, sausage, pork, and red meat if you ever stop by my trailer at any race.

The "Hill-Holder" was offered on most Studebaker's and a lot of the vehicles of the 50's and 60's with Borg-Warner transmissions as original equipment, including Jaguar sedans.

The "Mico-Brake" was an accessory available for medium- and heavy- trucks to supplement the service brakes and act as an "emergency brake". They still make them in North Mankato, MN.!
