Re: '65 C60 Help Needed: Brakes, wheels, tanks, wiring

There's not a simple "dual master brake cylinder" conversion available for these trucks like the light duty trucks & cars. They use a Hydra-Vac Slave/Master arrangement. It is the Achilles Heel of these trucks. Parts are still available but you have to dig. Search for GM NOS parts. Wagner & Bendix made most of the parts in the system.

If you can't find new wheel cylinders and yours are too pitted, consider brass sleeving them.

Knowledgeable people to rebuild & service the booster are hard to find.

Nice truck, congrats.
