Front Brake Hoses for 6 inch front brakes
In building up the big 6 inch front axle with the big brakes I found the BH5931 hoses to short to cover the range of movement. I sourced BH6222 and they are the same length as the originals and have the same 5/8 thread end as well. I would recomend these be added to the parts list for 6 inch axles and they would be fine on a 5 inch axle as well..

In the 5” or 6” axle. What is being measured to determine those sizes? Was one used on the 15cwt trucks?

The flange....... near the egg cup....
You can tell the 5 from the 6 from the flange cross section diameter....6 also has more bolts on the flange an the six has 6 bolts holding the top cap where the new departure bearing is located.......small C15a larger on C60 but there are exceptions Aussie C60 made in Canada late in the war has small axles and 16 in tires.

Thanks. I see the differences now. And with 7min to spare I learned something new today.

spotting a 6 inch front axle
the easiest way to spot the 6 inch front axle with the larger brakes from the regular 5 inch front axle is at the hub. you can see the obvious bulge behind the lift ring on the 6 inch. not so obvious is that the wheel base is wider by a couple of inch's.
Soi far I have only seen the bigger 6 inch on FAT's and winch trucks.

Chevrolet master cylinders
Somewhere in the past there had to have been a Wagner/Raybestos/Delco part number for the original master cylinder. Anybody have that information? Might be useful in checking out old NOS stock we sometimes come across.

Seal sizes for transfer case
So I just pulled the seals out of my transfer case and they all appear to be the same size. One was so bad that the oil could have been drained out the gap instead of the drain hole.....
Two of them have a paper gasket behind the plate and they are in bad shape. The input one has a steel gasket in place and no paper ones. Any ideas on sourcing these paper gaskets? The steel one looks fine although I am unsure if it would work without a paper one as well? If it was aluminum or copper I could see it being a crush type but it is definitely steel (has rust). Thoughts on the gaskets? Should I just try to cut my own?
