The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts 1950 chevy 2 ton brake cylinder sizes confirmation

Can someone confirm for me what the front and rear wheel cylinder size is. and what is the cylinder size for the master? I thought i saw some where that someone used a vette master cylinder in place of the stock one for a dual master. but maybe that was only on the little bolts.

I think you may have the same wheel cylinders as mine they are still available from Napa.
The fronts should be 1 1/4 diameter
Rears 1 1/2 diameter.
If you look at your originals the size should be stamped on the side of the wheel cylinde.

This is the front http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/CatalogItemDetail.aspx?R=UBP3406_0220763891

This is the rear http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/CatalogItemDetail.aspx?R=UBP3677_0220763782

If you click on buyers guide, on page 3 it says they fit your truck..

This is the master that fits my truck http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/CatalogItemDetail.aspx?R=NMAM661_0332938227
The bore size on this one is 1.5, has an outlet on each side and a port for the brake light switch on the end.

I just did some extensive research over the last few days, im also in the process of hunting down all the brake parts for my truck as well.

Are there any numbers on your old master cylinder?

Just make use of Google to get the complete information. You will get all the details.

The master I believe is 1 1/4 not 1 1/2
None of the parts in the links look to be correct for a 50 2 ton

So i just got done pulling a front and rear drum.

Fronts are 1 1/4"
Rear are 1 1/2"

I have not pulled the master yet.

Im looking at ordering everything through rockauto it makes it easier for me, plus they have a better selection where i can actually pick a manufacturer

If you go to rockauto you can get those same ones they are all made by the same manufactuer.
