I am looking for a part number for the master cylinder on my GMC 630-50. The maintenance manual I have for the truck only lists MC bore of 1 1/2". The original out of the truck is too rusty to read any numbers on it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Alex

| | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,189 'Bolter | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,189 | If the bore is clean all the way out then I might make a quick pass with the hone just to make sure there are no low spots and to clean up the bore area that is outside of the pistons normal travel area. Then buy a new kit and put it back together... Mike B  | | | | Joined: Feb 2015 Posts: 44 Wrench Fetcher | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Feb 2015 Posts: 44 | Alex. Mine is the 503 also. Pretty cool engine. Mine is an old fire truck. Ron | | | | Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 5,096 Crusing in the Passing Lane | Crusing in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 5,096 | I also have a '54, someone replaced the bed and pump w/ a flatbed and U-joint hangar, 503 w/ 5 speed synchro, need PTO for box, drove home to Denver area from Al, brakes take 4 pumps to work may need hydrovac? Repair. 503 works fine, 6 to 9 MPG on way home, 6.5 rear ratio, needs 4.8 or so.
Made up electronic ignition so far, not installed yet, Deve's mod. Thinking about fuel injection in the future, want to keep gasser.

Thanks for the MC info.
I don't know to post px either, send me your email via pm and I'll send some.
When someone replaced the pump with a carrier bearing and new driveshaft(s). (Good) They must of have lost the 16" Tru-stop brake disc, so, some true genius replaced it with a 14" one which wore a 14" groove in one of the shoes, hard to release, also. Luckily, in my junk, I have a 16" disc so when it warms a little(14F this AM) I'll swap and reline the shoes.

I have a counter guy at O'reillys trying to find something, but no luck yet with him either. Where did you get that part number? Ron.

Ron | | | | Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 5,096 Crusing in the Passing Lane | Crusing in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 5,096 | OK guys, I found some on eBay, FC-11310. I ordered one, for $20. I figured it was worth a chance, they have some more. It looks just like a normal ms rebuild kit, 1.5" dia. In original, sealed box, no rust. Good luck.

I think I'll buy one anyways. It's only $20 and if it doesn't work, I'll display it on a shelf in my shop. Ron | | | | Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 5,096 Crusing in the Passing Lane | Crusing in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 5,096 | I got it, measures 1.5" OD, haven"t taken MC out yet. Looks nice, clean, no rust or corrosion.

The mc repair kit((FC-11310) I got fits perfectly, no spring though. So, if you have not gotten one for yourself, go ahead. By the way, no auto parts places could find that part number, an IHC truck place found it on EBay.
I do not see anything wrong with mine to cause it to take 4 pumps to get solid brakes, I was hoping it would be a clogged feed port, so after I put it back together and it still does not work, I'll go through the hydrovac.
Ed.
