I have a 53 B4B and started work on the brake system. The rears are the typical 2 single acting cylinders per side. The fronts are the double acting but instead of being stepped 1 3/8 and 1 1/4 both sides are 1 3/8. I went to parts house here that still uses books and found the Canadian built trucks may have had this front cylinder. My big problem is that I can't seem to find the pistons for the cylinders both the fronts and the rears. Are there any places that supply these.

Well I made the trip down to the local Napa and they no longer listed the pistons seperately. They had complete cylinders which were the stepped versions and the rebuild kits which included the the rubbers and nothing more. I was put on to a place here in Washington by the mom and pop auto parts store. A place called Hagen auto parts over in Puyallup. They didn't have pistons in stock but they had the original 1 3/8 cylinders. I found a guy on Ebay with the rear two piece pistons so I picked up a few from him.
