I have a 68 c50 and I need some parts. This stuff is getting really difficult! Most of the guys at the parts counters just shake their heads and walk away. The guys at NAPA have tried on some stuff but keep showing no longer available. None of the online sites list anything larger than a c30. Any help GREATLY appreciated!

Here is the stuff I can think of right off the top of my head:

-Front shocks
-All of the soft brake lines (checked with NAPA on this and they showed nothing!)
-slave cylinder kits



40 chevy 1.5 ton, 50 chevy 3/4 ton, 67 chevy stepside 1/2 ton, 67 C50, 68 C50, 73 chevy 4x4 3/4 ton, 2004 Silverado 1/2 ton , 2005 HD 3/4 4x4 Duramax (don't even get me started about my Oldsmobiles!)

Hy gravity_storm, there are a couple of different choices for parts depending on how your truck is equipped.
Front shocks GM p/n 4940606 = Euclid p/n E83218, Napa NS66833
All brake parts will be Raybestos part numbers, brake hoses front measure yours to figure out which ones you require
26.39" p/n BH36696, 24.80" BH36697, Rear p/n BH36564
Front wheel cylinder kits w/5000lb. front axle 7/8" bore p/n WK129, w/7000lb. axle 1 1/8" bore p/n WK 149
Rear wheel cylinder kits, w/15" x 6" brakes 1 5/8" bore p/n WK174
w/15" X 4" or 15" X 5" brakes, 1 1/2" bore p/n WK195, to change to Napa p/ns for the wheel cylinder kits, change the letter prefix to "UP" hope that helps.
