I have the good fortune to have a good Napa parts house here in town, but I'm also looking for other suppliers for general brake items like the Master Cylinder & wheel cylinders. I've found alot of the items on Jim Carter classic truck but like to have a good base to look at in case other sources are dry. Need to find places I can send my shoes to be re-lined as well. But the real worry I have is drums,... Can we even get those for the big bolts? Also curious if anyone knows where to get parts for the Duo-Grip parking brake system. Mine is a bit beat up and may need some help. Thanks!

Being unable to appreciate them all is missing out on a world of great things.
But thats just MY opinion! :P

According to my manual, & assuming all this is still stock, the M/C is 1.25" bore, the two front wheel cylinders are 7/8" bore, & the four rears are 1.5".
The front drums are 6-bolt 14"x2.5" and the rears are 6-bolt 15"x4".

Theres a place in tacoma that a friend told me about that he sends his clutches and stuff to. If I find out any more info Ill let ya know. They can line them with kevlar to, which is supposed to last darn near forever.
Not sure on the drums though. Youd have to bring them in to a shop or your FLAPS and have them tell you whether they can be saved or not. Keep you eye in the bushes driving around! Youll love havin a spare parts truck.
