The tow valve in the front you found, I see others have told you what its for already, can also be used as connection for an air hose. I don’t know if it will fill those big’ol tires, but its an option.

The valve on the front is a gladhand. There are 2, a service and emergency valve. They are to supply air to the brake chambers to allow it to be towed.

Those front glad hands are for towing, using umbilical air lines (service/emergency) to release the emergencies on the air chambers. If you're flat towing with another truck you can use a tow bar and those air lines to recover another one.

On a truck with air brakes if you don't have any air in the tanks your spring brakes will apply. The brake chambers on the rear are spring brakes. When you apply air to them with the knob you push in it will compress the spring and "release" the brakes. Simply put... If you run out of air you're not moving. Store a 9/16 wrench in the truck somewhere and if you ever have a problem with a brake chamber you can totally back off one of the slack adjusters and get it home with 3 other brakes. Also, a dime fits nicely in the air line fitting going into the brake chamber. It will block the air and isolate that chamber and keep it from bleeding your air out so fast.
