Just recently bought a '54 6500 Firetruck and although it's all there and runs and siren works (how cool is that!? ) I don't have any brakes! I wanted to enter it in a local 4th of July Parade but running over little kids along the route... well, they really frown on that! Does anyone have a source so I can buy a new Master Brake Cylinder (rebuild will take me too long and I can't ever seem to get one rebuilt right! Done it twice before on other trucks and ended up just buying new/remanufactured ones anyway!)

You just need to throw the candy further, then the kids won't too close. :p I've been able to find all my 2ton brake parts @ my local Bumper to Bumper store.
