thanks for any help. i've taken some close-up pics but not sure how to put them on here. i've also found numbers on all the parts but so far they aren't helping. my shoes look as though they were relined previously (and not very well either). the shoes have part numbers fd-8302 and fd-8305 on them and the wheel cylinders are wagner fd-7256. i saw jim carter advertise dual bore wheel cylinders, so will have to look further into that - of course, i need to ensure the method for linking to the shoes is the same.
ah, i love old pickups! i really do
