The old glad hands on your surplus truck might be a different
style/brand that uses different rubber seals than the new ones that
you'll find at the local truck stop. If that's the case, then just
replace the whole glad hand for around $6 when its seal is shot, and
then in the future you'll be able to use the locally-available seals. I
guess it wouldn't hurt to buy a couple of matching spare seals at the
same time, and stick them in the glove boxin a zip-lock bag.
