As for you brakes, look under the cab for a boooster, there should be a Vac Booster under the drivers side, the MC on the filre wall just operates the under cab booster.
The MC does have a plug on one side. I (mistakenly) assumed that it was both brakes, as every other dual MC I've seen has the clutch on the same side as the pedal, on this they're reversed. The truck doesn't have a clutch pedal and I don't see a hole in the firewall for a clutch rod. I did find the vac booster, but with no motor I can't yet test it and see how it works. The MC seems to be low on fluid, I should fill that up and see if I can get any pressure response at all from the brakes...right now the pedal just drops to the floor.

You need to spend some time looking over this website for more info about these bigger trurks. http://www.chevyc60.com/ there is even a page for rebuilding the brake booster...
Thanks, that site has a vin decoder that actually works for the big trucks.

My vin:
0C633J121663
0 = 1960
C = conventional cab
63 = 2 ton
3 = Cab & chassis
J = Janesville assy plant
121663 = Unit number

Regarding the transmission, mine had an auto as it has an auto shifter on the floor...but the shifter appears to be for a 3- or 4- speed, not a 6 speed. Sure would be nice if the vin had details regarding the drivetrain...


God is not on the side of the big armies, but of those who shoot best.
