Part numbers? As far as I know there are ones for the front wheels and two different ones for the rear wheels.
Thanks,

The rear brake front 5453866 and the Rear brake rear 5453865

Thanks. What I was looking for.
David Sword | | | | | Joined: Jan 2022 Posts: 15 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2022 Posts: 15 | To answer 3B, the truck is a 1951 GMC 354-24. I think that is comparable to the Chevrolet 6000 series.
Thanks,

Napa front UP14481 $128.99, rear forward UP 14499 $128.99, rear reverse UP 14500 $128.99 RockAuto, Raybestos front WC14481 $70.79, rear forward WC14499 $69.79, rear reverse WC14500 $69.79, hope that helps. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2022 Posts: 15 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2022 Posts: 15 | 3B,
Thanks for the numbers. I went to Napa and they were able to find the part but they were not readily available. Went to a Carquest outlet and they had the listings but could not get them. I ended up ordering from Chevs of the 40s which is fairly local to me. Their prices are about the same as Napa.

Thanks

Do you have two cylinders per wheel, or just one? Chevs of the 40s only shows up to 1-1/2 ton for 1936-1950.
