Re: NAPCO C-50 Chevy restoration,, front axle part numbers

I couldn't drive the truck without looking at the brakes AND inner axle seal. The diff was WAY down and I feared that the inner axle seals were bad. I took the whole thing apart. I'm posting numbers in case somebody else is looking for parts.
I didn't remove the inner seals.
The ID is to fit an axle of 1.58 diameter. The iD of the axle tube is 2.25
The inner bearing is a 566
The outer bearing is a 33269
The ilder bearing for the hub is a 6011X/C78. Any double sealed 6011 will work.
The gasket for the hub is a !C05 Fel Pro...Open the iD by about .080 with a drum sander
The hub seals are 416125 national

The shoes are 2 X 14
The drum number is GF-1 11100 2X14
The wheel cylinders are stepped with 2 diameters,,, 1 1/8 + 1 3/8
Instead of running a short shoe & a long shoe, they varied the cylinder pressure. You can use a 1 1/4 cyl. One shoe will just wear a bit faster than the other.
The right wheel cylinder is P/N 6000. The left side wheel cylinder is P/N 5999 Wagner

The Warn hub is a M19
It uses 2 snap rings and a circlip. The snap rings are W354 and W168.
I don't have a trade number for the circlip. The number at McMaster Carr is 97633A429.
The main drive pins in the hub are 1/4 X 1 inch and very easy to find. There is a small pin in the hub that faces outward and locates the last part that is assembled. The outer lock knob. This pin is 3/16 X 9/16

The flex brake hoses are a bit tired and I'm going to change them also.
The ends are HF1FX12 and HF1M16

I've ommited the spindle nuts and nut locks because that is still a work (disaster) in progress.
I got a good deal on a pair of 6-lug 22.5 wheels. I won't have any trouble in welding up the 6 holes and redrilling 10. The truck will never be very heavy so, I'm not worried about running radials on the old weak rims.
I have a 1960 F-600 boom truck that only weighs 6200 lbs. I run the tires with very low pressure.
Next chore will be the back brakes.
