The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts 1967 C50 Front Axel

On67 C50 Where the right wheel assy has been broke of.
The king pin caps are shot & the king pin is broke.
Left the truck in a crash.
I would have to know the front axel rating to get parts--wright?
How or where do I find out what that is?
It has the cast 5 spoke hub.
Want to get it together so I can move it around.
Sits where the recker put it, Needs a wheel to move it.

Hy Repair, according to my Euclid catalogue, the GM p/n for the kingpin set for this truck is 3927942 = Euclid E-4444B = Napa NCP2621016 $76.49 or TWD HKP2090 $61.49, I'm assuming that the two different Napa numbers are from two different manufacturers, hope that helps.

Thanks Now all i need is the cups that go on the ends of the king pins & bolt to the brake back plate & spindal.
I dont know how many diff front axels they made or the tons, When the king pin broke it pulled these cups off the spindal part & broke them. Are the front axel assy all the same in that year & truck size?

Hy Repair, are you talking about the bores the kingpin sits in, or the caps that bolt in place over the ends of the kingpin? If that much damage was done the axle may be bent, and the spindle could be cracked or bent, maybe you should look for another front axle. It is hard to tell if they used more than one front axle in a 67 C50, as the parts book doesn't reference truck model numbers, but talks about weight capability of axles. It appears that the 5000lb. axle is the same from 67 - 72 on C models, hope that helps.

Need the top & bottom caps, It broke the bottom cap & bent the top one, The truck has sat for 3 years, Wont be on the road ever again Just want to get it so we can pull it around to get it to the shop so we can take the box & hoist, Motor etc off it.
Its to far away for the air hoses & power tools.

Check to see if you still have the sticker on the glove box door. It will list the original Front Axel Capacity.

The truck has Spoke Wheels? I don't ever remember seeing Spokes on a '67 to '72 C-50.

What is the GVW?

(Spoke wheels) I never have seen them till this one all 4 corners, I think 24000 Lbs.
About the glove box sticker, We got white stuff comin down,
Winds pickin up & The cab is pushed back so on the right door the cab comes around the door, Cant even pry it open.
The left door can be pulled open if 1 guy pulls all he's worth & you dont have a jacket on, A woman would never make it in there.
I tryed it 4 times befor i got in there.
The windows wont roll down eather. Can only reach the left crank, Wont go.

The truck was loaded with beans, Full load.
Brakes were workin, Stoped at 3-4 stop signs.
But not at the next one, T road 9.5 foot drop.
45MPH was doin good till the nose went down.
It stood on end almost went over.
Shouved the front back pushed the cab back. Beens broke the bolts on the front of box & pushed the cab forwards, Truck box was all most empty, When I wook up a guy herd the noise & came on ATV he was a smaller feller & he couldn't get the door open.
It took both of use & I got stuck any way.
Got to his place & got a ride to the Hospital
Thats why Im lookin for parts to just move it to the shop.
It will never be driven.
I cant move it the way it is. It's for parts only.

Quite a story. Hope you did alright.

With Spoke Wheels and a GVW of 24,000, I would say that the truck should have been a C-60. If it has C-50 emblems on it, I'm wondering if they got switched.
