JDs, I have the same truck, I was able to rebuild every cylinder. Your original rear brakes had two wheel cylinders per side. The rear drums were 15x4, I think the hydro will be ok with your set-up. So your 'new' 1996 axle has either 4.10 or 4.56 gears, the original had 6.17 or a two speed with something lower than that. I replaced every brake line and hose but I have bypassed the hydro until I can rebuild it, truck stops real nice without a load and no leaks from the system. I plan on loading 100 bales of hay as soon as the roads dry up a little, we'll see how the truck acts then.
