One is the fitting that screws into the master cylinder on my 56 Chevy 1/2 ton. I am including a picture. The threads are worn and it leaks. Second the spring that goes from the center frame rail to the emergency brake. It broke due to rust when I removed it during disassembly. Any suggestions on where I might find these items will be appreciated. I have exhausted all the parts stores in my area as well as trying Fastenal and Tractor Supply for the spring. http://i1142.photobucket.com/albums/n603/kennymartin2/IMG_2652.jpghttp://i1142.photobucket.com/albums/n603/kennymartin2/IMG_2653.jpgthanks, Kenny

I believe the parts at Chevy of the 40s will work. Thanks for that link Alvin. I am headed to try to find a spring at the hardware store to make that work.
Thanks again for you help,
Kenny
