Help !

Need leads for sources for wheel cyls & such for bigger trucks, specifically 1955 (1st series) 4400 1.5 ton Medium Duty (14,000#GVW).

My truck has 7/8" diameter front WC, which fit '55 - '59 w/ 14" front brakes.

Can't find complete cylinders...and Carter tried to tell me that these trucks have 1-1/8" WC...I politely told them that both my truck and the Wagner brake book say otherwise....in fact all Chevy trucks with 14" front brakes have 7/8" front WC thru the late '60s.

My original cyls are too pitted to rebuild, and even if I have 'em sleeved, I'd still need to find new pistons.....

Would appreciate any leads!

Thanks!
