Any idea on where i can get one. please i have tried all the locals and thats no luckthanksYour truck is similar to my 88' GMC 6000 with a 350 gasser and hydraulic brakes. Have you tried a GMC truck dealer? You live not too far from me (Ozone Park, Queens) and I got GMC parts from Bruno truck in Brooklyn. Its expensive but then again they are a dealer. Ill try too see if I can find anything else out as my mechanic always gets parts for just about anything. Quote -Thad What America needs is less bull and more Bulldog!

theakerstwo Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I am almost sure that you can take the master cylinder off and take to a parts store like for cars maybe napa and let them use the casting # and order from wagnor or who ever and you may have to check with the older guys to get any where dont know if you have tryed that but for years that is how i got them for old stuff rather bthan using the make and year. good luck. glenn Quote glenn akers Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/3498-1971-gmc/#findComment-17463 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea on where i can get one. please i have tried all the locals and thats no luckthanksI put a reman master on a 1970 C-50 last week. I got the part overnight at my local Carquest, and the cost was $49.00, (shop cost). The wheel cylinders were the killer at $33.00 each and there are two on each wheel!Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
