Chevrolet C60L Handbrake

[Paul Hemmings]

The great thing about nice accommodation is i get three meals a day and tucked in to bed at night, My Morris c8 tows a replica of Montgomerys office caravan that is laid out like the one in the Imperial War Museum during the day and then converts to a nice caravan at night

Head room would not be a problem for you in your rig but with my long legs I might have to stoop a little.

And a few pictures of your repro Monty Caravan would also be nice.

On the NOS E brake drum and lining, subject to confirmation from Grant, I was lead to believe that the M35 and possibly the CCKW had identical parts ....possibly including all the assorted springs and hardware?????? and are still available from USA distributor and maybe Frank Von R. in Canada

Cheers

Hi Bob

Your point about headroom is well taken the only place my son can stand up straight in box on BEAUTY is by opening the roof skylight.

Over the years I've bumped my head a fair number of times on the door header, particularly running up the stairs to grab something. Not as much of a problem has I've gotten shorter.

Will dig out some photos of the radio box on BEAUTY Pattern 13 C60S.

Cheers Phil

I have used the M135 CDN (not M35 unless someone checks numbers and find they are the same too) parking brake band on a 2 speed Chevrolet CMP transfer case. Same part number so I assumed it would fit, and it did. The same applies to the springs, j-bolt and other actuating hardware. On checking part numbers for the hardware I found they were common to CCKW and CMP (Chev) so bought a couple of sets from Frank. Again, the fit was right (as you would expect for NOS parts from the same parent company having the same number number).

If the C60 handbrake components are interchangeable with the CCKW (Split & Banjo diff are the same) then they are also interchangeable with DUKW, G506 Chevrolet 1-1/2 ton 4x4 and Studebaker US6.
