1960 C60 Dump Truck

[Mattman2010]

My family has had this 1960 Chevy C60 for quite a while. The truck has been used as a grain truck for years but the thing has seen better days and sense it has a dumping bed on it I would like to get it up and running really good again.



The truck needs brakes really badly. Master cylinder to the wheel cylinders but I can not find parts for this thing. None of the local chain parts stores have anything for this big of a truck. Anyone know of a place I can get all of these parts from?

The truck also has a straight 6 in it and it really seems to small for this truck. It will get you there, but it seems very very underpowered for the size of the truck and I have a 80's 350 setting in my shop and was wondering if maybe the 350 would swap into this truck pretty easily and be a good upgrade. Not sure if the bell housing pattern is the same or not. I would like to keep the transmission currently in it because it has a PTO on it to power the pump for the dump bed. Id really like to stick a cummins in it and maybe a 13 speed or something, but for now I want to use what I have laying around the shop.
