Sources for Chevy g30 350 brakes / drums?

[AliceKelly]

I have a 1984 chevy g30 chasis winebago mini WIni.

I'm. Curious how I find rear brakes since I'm. Almost sure the rear end on her isn't the standard g30 rear.

Ps hello Rick and tj

So how do I find brake pads drum spring kit and drums?

[Rickf1985]

Single wheel or dual wheel? Being a 1 ton the rear is more than likely a 14 bolt corporate. It will use the same brakes as a 0ne ton dually pickup if it is the dual wheel setup. But to verify you need to pull a drum and measure the diameter and the width of the shoes. Once a parts store has that they should have no problem getting the parts. Can you get a picture of the differential cover?

I'll get on that in a couple days.  We had to replace all 7 tires.  The two outer dually blew and one front within a week.  Never knew about bias ply and thirty six year old tires.


Didn't even have a jack.  Luckily had roadside assistence. $1200.00  for 7 8.00/16.6 lt

I finally got under my rig and took a couple pics.  I didn't know any other place to post them so I posted them on my Facebook page.

I'm seeing in one Pic either 5488 or 548B. 5488 came up Internacional while 548B is a chevy truck but no g30

See what you all come up with

Thanks in advance Mr fox

After looking at aot of pictures I have to agree Rick.  I think it's a corporate 14 bolt.  But knowing this how do we know what shoes spring kit and drum it uses?

[AliceKelly]

Let me guess.  Take off one side and measure the shoe and drum then find someone who sells that size?

[Oz]

Yes, as Rick said, you'll need to measure.  Advance Auto, Auto Zone, eBay.  Shouldn't be hard to find since their compatible with 1 ton.

[AliceKelly]

Except autozone oriley and  advance auto don't / can't search parts by a measured size.  I've been totally blown away by their stupidity.  I've been escorted off the property for asking for a quadrajet electric choke kit.  Or chevy door locks.

They look in a computer for year make and model.  If you don't know the truck that was made with that axel and brakes you won't get parts.  They don't have anything for a motorhome... Or so they keep telling me.  Doesn't matter what chasis I tell them it's built on

[AliceKelly]

I think I figured it out.  An 84 c30 came with a 14 bolt corporate..  So I'll just tell them that.

Does this Rock auto link help any?

[AliceKelly]

It might. I think I'm. Looking for 13 x 3 1/2  but it could be 4.0.  The drums I hope can be resurfaced

How is drum bolt size etc measured?
