C-30 Rear Brakes?

[da-burb]

I have to agree with Longhornman. I made the mistake of digging into the Eaton in the back of my 71 C30 motorhome. After $500 I was the proud owner of 2 sets of bearings that came from 4 different locations throughout the USA. The brake shoes were easy to aquire, the wheel cylinders for some reason were hard to find. And after all that, I had a total failure of hub/lug cohesion and was stranded 600 miles from home with a ruined hub and drum that hasn't been manufactured in 34 years.

The smart way would have been to find a 14 bolt or dana 70 dually and swap it into my motorhome. I would have an extra $600-700 in my pocket instead of still having a now 35 year old rear and have the added bonus of going down to any local parts store and pick up the parts needed to fix a modern axle.

Now you said you picked up a 71-72 Eaton. like I said above these drums are different than the ones you have on your 69 Longhorn. They should be 1/2" wider.
