Yelmer , check your part number 3834112 , comes up as the rod assembly FOR the booster. The booster assembly is 3843823-assembly manual or 3848503 1966 parts book, for 1964-1966 and Bendix only.
More info on the 618082 master , this is the Bendix master cylinder, two companies were making master cylinders for GM at this time. The other was Delco / Moraine . Both are assembly line correct. Also look in the assembly manual , it shows the screw on top master cylinder. The date I believe is calendar days of the year out of 365 days ,yours 66th day of ? 1966 ? I have some with 146 and 277. |

Look up, or google, Julian Date Calendar , it puts the date as March 7th for 066 . Its calendar year . GM used this method on other parts also. As far as how it relates , its always before or close to before the build date of the truck. Do you by chance have the build sheet to this truck ? The master cylinder would be on that sheet also.

Well , generally thats the last three digits of the GM part number. I looked in several early books and still need to dig a little deeper. I have the number 360 in several other build sheets and those are Delco master cylinder trucks and found another with 364. I will keep searching. Just another tid bit , this same Bendix master cylinder was used on 1965 1966 Impalas and several other GM brands.

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
is there a touch up paint or color code available for the grey blue on the 1960 dash ? I don't have the dark grey that I have seen, but it seems to be original paint, just a few scratches, and some cracking.

Ok bolt gurus! I was cleaning a batch of bolts off the 62 and came across these. The ones in background are for under seat jack mount, 3 dots. The SS ones were mainly clean but the blue ones threw me. Truck is orange and had green primer under cab. Would this been engine color? There is a flag on 2, EL on 1 and 2 with E.

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
New to me 63 has 526A as a paint code which is Cameo White according to my literature. Drivers side has a faded section between the bright molding that has a smidgin of red. The passenger side is Cameo White like the main body color. According to what I'm reading there was only a 2 tone of Cardinal Red for the R10 which I believe to be Corvair.
The plate also has a 4 digit paint number that has been X'd out interestingly enough. Although it really would set off between the bright moldings to have it Cardinal Red , I don't think they ever came that way in the C series. Your thoughts? Still has the crayon markings on the firewall and the rear crossmember of the frame. It's dinged and dented but retains much of it's originality. Oh , and is Coll Pack A/C equipped although it was installed center for a colum shift and the truck is a four speed. They heated and contoured the shifter around the the A/C unit. |
