The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Driveline 3/4 Ton Wheel Cylinder

I have a 53 3600 and I was wondering if the only place to get the replacement wheel cylinders for my truck were the 40.00ea ones from LMC or if there was somewhere else I could get them.

Do you have a good auto parts store. I am not talking about a chain like Auto Zone. I would find an good parts store ask for the "old guy" that has been there for 10 plus years. Get the casting number off of your Wheel Cylinders and let them source them by the Casting numbers. They should be able to cross/source them from the casting numbers. Let me know if they cant and I will see if I can find my old Wagner's Buyers Guide and get you a Part number.

Hy lucky7matt, there are two different possibilities for wheel cylinders, one fits all positions if your truck does not have 14" rear brakes, the one size for all positions is Raybestos p/n WC18009 $20.89 USD at RockAuto, the same size wheel cylinder at Napa is p/n UP18009 $27.49 USD. The wheel cylinder for the 14" rear brakes is Raybestos p/n WC18010 $46.79 USD at RockAuto, the same wheel cylinder at Napa is p/n UP18010 $69.99 USD, hope that helps.

OK, full admission to my inexperience. What does NOS mean?

NOS - New Old Stock

It means an original brand/number unused and unopened part.
