1966 c60 questions

[bigrigpardo]

Local to me a guy has a 66 c60 c60 dump he wants to sell. 292 he says 5 speed but I forgot to look when I checked it out. 2 speed rear. It has no brakes pedal right to the floor. Been off the road about 10 years. Has hydrovac and 10 lug 20 inch split budd rims all around.

Question 1 is how hard are 22.5 tubeless rims to find? I k kW they make them new but that's not happening. Figuring good used ones.

Question. 2. How hard are brake parts to get. I k kW I can order a rebuilt hydrovac but I would want to do a master all the rubber hoses and wheel cylinders. How hard are they to find as well as stuff like shoes and drums.

Not real sure on either question, but I like the truck.

Sheet Metal looks good and I like 10-Lug Fronts, as well as the Tow Hooks.

I also don’t really have your answer but I’m getting ready to build my 66 C50 and mine has all new rims, tires, and I was told all new brakes. I’m planning on trying to sell all of that stuff since I’m putting a newer front end under mine and a newer rear axle. Looks like you aren’t real close but if you’re needing parts let me know!

What size wheels are on your c50? Are they 22.5 10 lug. What would you want for them just out of curiosity?

I’ll double check but I believe they are just 20”, but yet they are 10lug

1 22.5 with 10 lug shouldn't be too hard to find. I just kept an eye out on craigslist . mine were 6 lug bud wheels which is not as common but found a full set and got em for next to nothing

2 the brake master cylinder on a 66 c60 is unique to that year only as far as I can tell. I had to rebuild mine but since then I found them on ebay for around 90.00. just be sure that they have the exact same size bores. they are big I think 1.25 and 1.5" . if you don't get the right size the clutch and brakes will not operate properly. I ordered new wheel cylinders for the front and all new rubber lines from my local auto parts store. not very expensive. have not done the back ones yet. shoes were in good shape.

If i was u i put the 22.5 its a common plenty of them out there stay away from split rims.That's old technology.Go to tube less radials.brake parts should be easy to find.

But i be looking for a doner truck that has the I beam with disk brakes and power steering up date the barking system and steering.You will love your self and the guy that buys it from you.Run hydro boosted for brakes.Your state inspection will love you.

Plus it tells them your all about safety
