I just got a 1958 chevy 3800 apache wrecker Im planning on restoring it. The Truck is missing the master cylinder and the brake linkage from the brake pedal to the master cylinder. If anyone can tell me where to look for the parts it would be appreciated! The wrecker is a Holmes 6000lb CAT# 460 sn RC5-2010 model# is blank on the data tag. If anyone can tell me anything about it or where I can find information it thanks.
Thanks for reading

Hi Herman and welcome to Stovebolt.com! We have a couple of Holmes experts on the site. Search up a user named "Spanky" and send him a private message and he will most likely give you an education on Holmes wreckers.

For your brake parts, trying placing a wnated ad in our swap meet -- I bet someone will have those parts for you.

Good luck with your truck!

I'm not sure exactly which part of the brake linkage you are missing. The "pivot point" for the brake pedal is integral to the master cylinder, i.e. the brake pedal arm attaches directly to the master cylinder. Hope this helps.
