[Frank v R]

Hi guys, need a jobber # for the wheel cylinders for the C60L , hope some one can help

You are looking for the 1-1/2 inch wheel cylinders. Try a Dorman W4511 or else a raybestos or Wagner WC4511. Rock auto lists them at between $45 and $68. A quick check here in Canada with NAPA shows them under p/n NUP 4511 and retail at $130.28/jobber price $79.99.

I think I have purchased them through Amazon.com even cheaper. Yep, just checked and they are $36.21 with free shipping in the US.

The master cylinder, if you use the correct part number, (Cardone select 1334572 ) is only $35 or so from Rock Auto. NAPA under NUP4572 will run you retail $108 trade $78.

Hi Rob

Are you sure it is a CMP master cylinder?

The one I have seen seem to be the correct size BUT the mounting studs are very different and will necessitate fabricating a bracket.

If they are a perfect bolt on match it would be the first time they are available in a long time.

Cheers

Rob - If the master cylinder you mention, NAPA NUP4572, is the same as NAPA part NMC P4572 - it looks more like a Ford (also CMP trailer) master cylinder. proper link (inserted by moderator)
The Cardone number you give looks more like a Chev number (7 digits) but it isn't a number that appears in the C15A list (which gives 5450260 as the master cylinder assembly) and the shape of the master cylinder looks more Ford-like than Chevrolet to my eyes. proper link (inserted by moderator) sorry - the whole link didn't take on link properties, you may need to copy and paste the long string to see what I was trying to say. Just out of curiosity, I looked in the Chev Master parts book 1929-1948 and 1334572 doesn't appear there either.

Are you sure the master cylinder you are describing is a Chevrolet part suitable for CMP use? What I'm used to seeing in Chev CMPs from C8a to C60L (exceptions include C60X and maybe C8) look more like the attached image from TM 9-1827C on Wagner Lockheed Brakes. As Bob said, I also haven't seen any new master cylinders identical to Chevrolet CMP (other than a very few NOS) in many years. The last one I saw was posted at http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...aster+cylinder

Rob, I thought you did a great job of that post, making the effort to put up as much helpful info as you could.

You guys are right.....I buggered up the master cylinder number. It is for a Ford. I am so used to working with the Fords that I completely missed the "C" in the C60L.

I have in the past used the Ford master on the Chevs when in a pinch. An adapter bracket only takes a few minutes to make up, although you also have to custom make the pushrod to fit as well. But the plus is that you get an easy to source master cylinder that is matched to the wheel cylinders.

Note that the last four digits of any of these parts, be it the cylinders or the master, almost always end in the same four digits. It would almost seem to be a trade standard, or it could just reflect the source (China) of the parts and that they adopted the original Wagner numbers to some degree.

Would this link be more for the cylinder you guys are looking for? It is listed as being for a half ton, so I am unsure of the bore diameter, but if it is the appropriate size, then it may well be possible someone is making these up again.
