1965 C30 SRW Rear Brakes

[ncoonen]

I have come up with nothing useful searching the interwebz for new shoes and wheel cylinders for the rear of my 1965 C30 single rear wheel truck. It has 13" x 2.5" drums in the back. The only thing I find in parts listings like Rock Auto are for 14" drums (example: Raybestos 60PG).

I think I can save the drums with a quick turn on a drum lathe but the shoes are shot and at least one of the wheels cylinders has seized.

Any clues or sources to check? Lots of later Chevy 1 ton trucks used 13 x 2.5 rear drums but I am not smart enough to know if any of these might work.

Thanks all...ned.

Yes. Find a good, locally owned parts store that's been there forever and have them get out the brake book. They will be able to find part numbers for your brakes and cross reference to see if the newer stuff is the same.

Alternatively, you can go here: http://www.napaecatalog.com/app.asp?...kCode=bsv11flx and your part numbers will start on page 188

They have Centric 11103200 listed @ $42.79. 330mm x 63.5mm = 13" x 2.5"

Thanks for getting me to look again. I went past these at first because of the reference to front drum size in the Rock Auto listing. These look just right.

Also decided to replace my long lost wheel cylinder hone and just get the kits for the 1.25" rear wheel cylinders. All in for the shoes, kits, and hone will be just over $70.

Thanks for the link. I have found that catalog in the past and it's a good reference, but it is getting old. They list some part numbers that NAPA no longer carries. I though with a print of the catalog page and the old part in hand, you might get lucky at an old-school NAPA store.
