C-2 TRAILING ARM & MASTER CYLINDER

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 64 TRAILING ARMS AND 65 UP ARMS?
HOW DO YOU IDENTIFY 64 P/B MASTER CYLINDER?

Re: C-2 TRAILING ARM & MASTER CYLINDER

Both power and non-power brake '64's used master cyl casting #5464264. The power brake part had a bleeder fitting, the non-power did not.

I just had a 64 and a 65-trailing arm side by side and there are two differences.

1. The 65 arm has the small park break cable bracket on the forward inside of the arm.

2. The 65 also has a large suspension stop platform welded on the arm above the bearing housing.

The second addition trailing arms (65 on up) will mechanically work on the 64 however a judge could probably see the difference from across the parking lot.

Re: C-2 TRAILING ARM & MASTER CYLINDER

Another difference is on the 65 there is second park break cable bracket which is located on the forward side under the caliper. On second thought the 65 on up may also be slightly different to accommodate for the caliper mount bracket. The 64 is assembled so I’m unable to measure to see if there is a difference. But the 64 and 65 appeared to be the same with respect to bearing housing mounting.
