Hello, I’m working on 50 chevy3100. I’m changing to bendix brakes on front and need info on the stems that come out of the wheel cylinders. Trying to find them locally but don’t have any to compare size or shape.Does anyone know a part number or how to find them? Also will my rubber brake hoses from huck brakes work on bendix?
Rick, Correct me if I’m wrong, but are asking about the “bleeder valve”???

I think he is referring to the part that pushes from the wheel cylinder to the brake shoe that are separate on bendix brakes but part of a huck brake cylinder.
The brake hoses as far as rock auto (you can double check ) show the same hose part numbers for a 1949 as well as a 1952 .If no one has a part number for the push pins for the bendix brakes I can dig out a few I have and throw a few pictures on here .
Kevinski that is the part I am talking about, I heard them called stems,push pins, and links. The rubber line does screw into the wheel cylinder,so I’m going to try it. Thanks
Here ya go I don’t know if they are from the front or rear but I had a few and I think they are all the same between front and rear. The slot is the thickness of the metal part of the shoe.

IIRC, the ones I used on my '51 3100 with Bendix brakes look just like the ones that Kevinski posted. It looks like NAPA has them, but they say they don't fit. I think that's incorrect.
