Slim, The air start on trucks was done to reduce weight. They had one car size 12v battery for lighting instead of the 24v 4-6v battery system, a small alternator and the air starter was light. Consolidated Freight Lines had hundreds of tractors with that system. If the air was low they could jump start them with the trailer air hose from another tractor.
