Hello Everyone,

 

I was wondering if anyone knew where i could find front brake wheel cylinders for a 1939 2-Ton Dodge truck? What i really need is basic measurements and photos, not the actual cylinder at this point. 

 

My reason for asking is a bit peculiar. I am currently working on restoring a non-mopar chassis, it's a 1936 Triumph Gloria saloon. The brakes on that car are Lockheed brand. Automotive Products (AP) purchased the rights to build USA Lockheed hydraulic brake parts in England around 1928. So my car would have British built Lockheed wheel cylinders and master cyl. According to the British Lockheed manual the same wheel cylinders where used on 1939 Dodge 2-Ton 124" W.B. trucks. I'm assuming the Dodge trucks they are referring to are ones built in the UK at that time. It may be a long shot but I'm hoping that the American trucks used that same front wheel cylinders. 

 

My cars wheel cylinders are missing so I'm hoping to be able to cross reference them to some American makes which would make them a fair bit easier and less expensive to get. I've tried googling this and can't seem to find photos of the wheel cylinders for the heavier trucks. Here are the measurements off of the wheel cylinders that should be on my car:

 

Bore: 1-1/4"

# Mounting Screws: 2

Center line distance between mounting screws: 2-1/8"

Diameter of casting boss: 1-5/8" 

 

Side Note - The drum diameter is 12 inch.

 

If someone has one of these cylinders and is willing to make the above measurements and take a few photos. I'd be very grateful. 

 

Thanks,

 

Chris
