1951 b3b brake parts

[eric staples]

Pulled the front wheels off and replaced the wheel bearings and seals and discovered a leaking wheel cylinder which in turn turned the shoes into mush, you can take your fingernail and lining comes right off. I did a search and I am needing some help. Can shoes and cylinders be bought at napa, and if so does anyone have a part number? I would rather buy new cylinders than buying a kit. Thank you. Eric

Your local auto parts store should be able to get them. Wagner still makes them. Sometimes it is hard to find the right part numbers but once they have the current numbers any parts store can get them.

You should be able to take them ( the shoes ) to napa and they have a boot that will match them up. If you get a napa number share it with use on this site. . it mite save someone the trouble of chaseing parts. good luck

If that's a 1 ton let me know. I just bought wheel cyls at NAPA. If that's what your looking for let me know, I'll look up the receipts for you. They had the front rubber brake hoses too. Mike

Thanks everyone for your help. No Mike it's a half ton. If I match them up at napa I will post part numbers. Eric
