Post by: Barry & Cindy on May 31, 2017, 10:52:14 pm
Need part number and place to buy front brake pads for a 1987 36' Oshkosh rear engine gas.

Non IT-literate friend who needs help.

NAPA.  Take a and picture andmeasure the shoes. My Oshkosh book shows wedge brakes on my 88 but the delivery bill for the chassis shows S cam. I guess that they came both ways.
 Mine are  15 X4 S-cam.  Chassis build date of 9/87
 NAPA had the brake hoses and everything so far for very fair price. FWI the front hoses are 30 in and 1/4 inID.

The rear engine gas had hydraulic disc brakes. Probably have to take a sample to a good heavy duty brake place

Thank you, it was a help and he is now ready to move on.  I confirmed he has hydraulic brakes.

Thanks again for your postings.  Here is the end of the story...  Jim took your advice, but better than the photo, he took the pads into a truck parts shop.  And the guy said right out those are 184's.  Part number is 700-MD184.  Told me rotors looked good and job is done and he is safely back on the road.

Thanks
