Re: 1967 C50 pickup - finally starting to paint
I replaced the 420 with a NV4500. That thing was HEAVY!

Re: 1967 C50 pickup - finally starting to paint
Yeah, I just cut a chunk of a great big log for a support and slid the 420 back just far enough to get the bearing off/on. Of course that was about 35 years ago and I had no idea what model number transmission it was at the time. I just knew it was a big truck transmission.
Oddly enough my little C-10 would have had the SM420 also. I sure liked those. They always shifted so nice.

Re: 1967 C50 pickup - finally starting to paint
What a cool truck!! I have some questions if you don't mind.
1. What year and model Freightliner did you use for the front axle? Did it bolt right up? I know these trucks and the medium/heavy duty big trucks all use a 34" wide frame. I want to find a big disc brake axle for my truck. 2. What size tire are you running? Is it the 255/70/22.5? That is a common size for guys who lower their semi's. 3. What did you use for the brake master and proportioning valve? I'm thinking about hydro boost but wasn't sure if it would push enough fluid and pressure. 4. Are you running power steering? If so what model did it come from? Thanks! |

I was hoping you could send or post a pic with a closer look at the bolt-hole pattern and the hooks themselves if you have good pics. Also, I'm not sure if I missed a picture or not but was there an option code listed in the glove box for the hooks? I appreciate any info and help! Here's a pic of my project. ![]() ![]() |
