| | | | Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 7 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 7 | I have several big bolts and I never have trouble with anything but the brakes. I need resources for brake parts. I have mainly c60's with vacuum assist systems. My midwest trucks have road salt issues and my southern trucks have wear issues. So either way I have need of sources of obsolete brake parts.
Thanks to all.

Everything is still available and sometimes are on the shelf for my 54 2 ton. CarQuest, NAPA or any other F.L.A.P.S. that's been around a while should be able to get anything you would need for a 60 - 66 era truck.
Our local powertrain store has several hydro-vac booster styles in stock. We also have a brake shop that can reline the shoes. Several machine shops can sleeve wheel cylinders and the cups are always a stock item at parts stores. The only thing that you may need to order would be a master and hoses.

Just tell us specifically what you are looking for, and we will try to help. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 165 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 165 | When I tried to get front whel cyn for my 61 4000 series they didn't come up by model, but with the number on the cyn they are available thru NAPA | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 75 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 75 | I got all the parts I needed for my 65 C50 thru a local parts store that has been around for years.(rubber lines-master and wheel cyl.)I got my hydro vac thru napa. I made all new brake lines. Parts are still available. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 7 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 7 | Thanks a lot. after reading several replies I think my problem is the local stores I've tried. You are all extremely encouraging though. Hate to park my old tandem. When we dig out of the snow and get ready for field work I will post a plee again with descriptions of the actual parts needed. My shop is only heated from April to October when I can open the doors and let the heat in.
The first thing I might need is a vacuum cannister for a 62 C60.
Haven't seen the truck yet.
