Re: 1967 C-50 Dump truck Project
Can your drums be turned? I would expect you can get the local NAPA store to send off your shoes to get them relined.

Re: 1967 C-50 Dump truck Project
I'm going to try and pull the brakes apart this week and check them for thickness.
I agree that I hope my local Napa (who I deal with almost every day) can send my shoes out to get them relined. |

Re: 1967 C-50 Dump truck Project
I took my brakes apart and the drums were perfect, you never know without looking. You may find your shoes are in good shape. Some grooves in the drums should not be a problem. They are much more tolerant than a car. You can see how good the brake shoes were on mine:

A little while later, I hauled a house trailer over a high mountain pass in Colorado. Coming down the brakes on that side smoked like crazy. I guess I finished cleaning all the oil off of them! ![]()

Here is the busted axle U-bolt saddle. I need to find one of these or weld this one back together. |

And now we have an oil seal leaking. I hope to be able to find this part also. |

I am not one for painting everything black. I had some IH white so I thought I'd see what the head light rings looked like sprayed an off white. I like it well enough to paint the rest of the grille and possibly the wheels. |

How about those custom seat mounts? The radio hole is hacked but at least its all there and may be fixable with a little effort.Which would be nice to not have to buy a repair panel to fix it. |

The option sticker is almost readable. |

Good luck with your project. I keep forgetting that these 1960's 2-ton trucks are now 30-35 years older than they were when I was running them.

Re: 1967 C-50 Dump truck Project
Thanks! I'm trying to keep the ole truck alive. I'm hoping to find some solid body panels. My cab is about shot. Front fenders are almost to far gone to repair but I may have to if I can t find any decent ones for a decent price.

Re: 1967 C-50 Dump truck Project
So here are some of my current situations with the truck.
One of the ears is broke off. I have been welding for 24 years so I think I can fabricate another hole and then gusset the axle saddle and not have an issue,If I can't find a replacement. I'm curious if I could use a regular style U bolt and then use a flat plate on top of the springs. |

Re: 1967 C-50 Dump truck Project
This is why I'm thinking about running an air spring rear suspension. This spring pack looks like it has had several extra springs added to it. Of course I can always remove several springs.

Re: 1967 C-50 Dump truck Project
I'm also hoping to find a good cab and front fenders/extensions. As you can see below My cab is a little far gone to save. I did figure out with a bit of trimming a one piece floor for a C10/20/30 will work but my kick panels are also gone as is the steering wheel floor bracing.

Re: 1967 C-50 Dump truck Project
Wow, looks like the engine, transmission, and bed/hoist is about all that's worth saving.

Re: 1967 C-50 Dump truck Project
Since you're in Ohio. I came across a 69 C50 350/4speed with a nice body and flat bed on Facebook awhile back no engine in it at the time but the guy would reinstall it for $2500. It was a bit of a pain to find and I don't remember what town it was in but I know it's just north of Lynchburg. $1800 bought the truck the way it sat without the motor and if you bought it I'm sure you could sell off what you don't need. I'd be interested in the flatbed, extra cab and saddle tanks on it
