Re: New C50 Owner
I just noticed your comment in your signature. Did you try super-tuning your 292?
The 292 in my '64 C-30 got somewhere around 12-15. |

I had rear wheel cylinders leaking as well, just soaked them with brake clean and wiped them down a couple of times. Your shoes like they have very little wear. Here is a picture of mine after cleaning.

None! Given the price it is well worth trying. I suspect yours will clean up as well. We used to clean semi brake shoes all the time after a wheel seal failure. They were very nasty but cleaned up just fine. Might need a couple applications of brake clean to get it all off.

Re: New C50 Owner
Nobody makes/sells the gm 15x5 brake shoes anymore. I've called several places over the past year and no one could help. I plan on sending my rear shoes to this local company to be relined.
http://www.cecofriction.com/index.html Centric brakes makes 14x2 shoes for the front and dorman still makes all the rubber brake lines. Raybestos still makes wheel cylinders (although made in China) and can order them from Rock auto. If you need any help with part numbers just let me know. |

Right now, my biggest concern is the inner wheel seal. |

3974846 is the original GM part number for 1969 c50 with 2 speed rear axle
370106A is the updated timken/national/federal part number Gmpartswiki.com will be your best friend after this ;) |
Re: New C50 Owner
Dorman H38908 is the brake hose from master cylinder to the frame for my 67 and It looks about the same as your 69.

Re: New C50 Owner
I'm also trying to figure out what rear axle I have. The SPID says it's a T150, but the casting numbers Google a T170. https://fi.somethingawful.com/safs/s.../shrug.001.gif
BTW, what does SPID stand for? Sticker Placed In Dash??? |
Re: New C50 Owner

Spid= Service parts identification Post up a pic of it and the vin |

No problems at all, except a little while later was coming off a long steep mountain pass with a 10x50 mobile home behind. That side did some smoking so I guess I burned off the rest of the gear oil residue :lol: Hauled logs with the truck for about five years after that and never did another thing with the brakes. |

Re: New C50 Owner
Final update. Got new wheel cylinders installed, new brake lines, cleaned the brake shoes with Brakleen as Airdirect suggested and everything worked perfectly.
After hounding the guy who said he would do the modifications for me for 7 months, I took the truck to two different shops to get estimates. WAY out of my price range. So, with a touch of bitterness, I sold the truck. I no longer own a pre-'72 truck! |
