I am wondering if the 1965 Shasta Airflyte was equipped with brakes and if not what you would recommend.

I have a 66 Loflyte---I bought new electric brake assemblies that fit perfectly where the old ones were Bendix,(don't have the part # right off hand 10" is what was there.) 1 right hand, 1 left hand, near $100.oo that I remember. 4 bolts very easy job. sparky1.

Brake controller installed in vehicle $$, via, vehicle wiring & power off the brake light circuit thru vehicle/trailer 6 or 7 pin wiring hookup Generally a blue wire. when you apply pressure to brake pedal, power to & thru controller to the electric brake magnets that operate the brake shoes to the brake drum it operates almost like Hydraulic brakes do on your vehicle. (Bendix might have a video on the net) Electric trailer brake operation.? ? sparky1.
