C700 Vin help & general question

Hi!

I bought a cabover c series from a friend who is getting out of farming. It belonged to his dad and he doesn't know much about it. It's been sitting for 15 years but after replacing the fluids, rebuilding 2bbl carb and replacing some ignition parts it fires up and runs good.

The problem is if like to know more about the engine that's in it to make the parts hunt easier.

Vin is C70MU470337

The clutch reservoir filled up and works well - pedal is firm.

The brake reservoir not so much I think I need to get a new diaphragm at best but ideally would like to replace the whole assembly. Can't find a part number to save my life.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!!

See below.

VIN: C70MU470337
C70 = C700 (C series Tilt Cab).

M = 330 2V Heavy Duty FT engine.*

U = Louisville KY Assembly Plant.

470337 = 1964.
------------------
1964/67 C600/800 with power drum brakes: Brake master cylinder mounted on firewall, Hydro-Vac 'remote' power brake booster mounted on the frame rail.

B7Q-2140-A .. Brake Master Cylinder / Obsolete

CARPENTER NOS OBSOLETE PARTS in Concord NC has 3 = 800-476-9653.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B7Q-2004-B .. Brake Master Cylinder Repair Kit / Obsolete

CARPENTER NOS OBSOLETE PARTS has 1.

GREEN SALES CO. in Cincinnati OH has 20 = 800-543-4959

*FoMoCo confusion: The VIN engine codes that were used for 1964/65 FT engines are different than for 1966/78 FT engines.

1964/78 FT: 330 2V Medium Duty; 330 2V Heavy Duty; 361 2V & 4V (1974/78); 391 4V
