The 3/4 ton 52 parts are almost double the cost a lot of places then the same truck of different years. Why is this? If Im not going to tow anything. Will the half ton parts bolt up or is this a terrible idea? I only need this to work for a short time a year or so. Until I get the truck into my garage to tear it apart to start the resto. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 | That would be a bad idea and probably wouldn't work. The market for the larger truck parts is smaller and there is less competition.

The parts for those are rare & expensive. Try to rebuild the cyls. you have. Hone them out & if there is no pits in the surface that the cups contact they should work OK. You could get the brakes off a 53 up & change it over but that would take a lot of parts sqrounging.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | | | | Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 105 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 105 | Thanks Wrenchbender... that makes sense. | | |
