:roll: It's most likely a vacuum tank for either vacuum trailer brakes and/or extra vacuum for the uphill runs with FB vacuum wipers.Gives the wipers extra bit of go on uphill runs until the vaccum is depleted.

Would probably have a line to the inlet manifold somewhere.

See ads for 'em in old magazines from the '60's early '70's.

Dunno if it's a NASCO option ??
