I have a 66 chevy 60 2 ton dump truck and having problems finding brake parts. I posted another thread that may not have been approved as it may have seemed I was posting wanting parts. And I do, but have noticed some newer model parts will fit. There are more part avalible it seems for 1 ton and down than 2 ton, how many of the 1 ton parts will work on the 2 ton. | | | | | Joined: May 2007 Posts: 1,718 Moderator: 60-66 Trucks; North Eastern Bolters | | Moderator: 60-66 Trucks; North Eastern Bolters Joined: May 2007 Posts: 1,718 | Welcome to the forum. I do not know of the compatibility between the heavy trucks. Others may and they may chime in soon. I have heard that the brake parts are hard to come by on the big trucks.

The shape of the metal part of the shoes look the same. The pad parts are the same size 15 x 5, will find out tomorrow when they come in. Found some wheel cylinders on a web site wrote the site address down, but later it came up as a differant site. Found a master cylinder the one on the fire wall. Had some hoses made. the truck has a 327 that runs great, the dump raises with no problems and the bed stays raised with no creep noted. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | ....if you have a problem with the one you have coming you may want to ask the tractor trailer shops where they get theirs relined. I've found that they can re-line just about anything and the cost was reasonable. Its just that its been a few short years since I had them done. A.G. Boone in Charlotte N.C. "use" to do them for a big shop I once worked at.
Great to see things are coming together. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2013 Posts: 23 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jul 2013 Posts: 23 | Thanks chipmunk, I had thought about re-lining, but no place around close, shipping cost then comes into pay. but if all else fails. I like my little chevy, it purrs like a kitten. It has been a farm truck for a long time. The fella I got from used it on his farm, the brakes didn't work for him, he used the e-brake. The fella he got it from used it on his farm and used the e-brake. The clutch operates on a differant cylinder on the same master cylinder. It was begining to have problems disengageing. The new master cylinder has fixed that problem. So if all fails, guess I can continue the tradition. | | |
