The title pretty much says it, no one has them, no one knows why. Ebay, all the major online vendors, you name it. My local vendor was pretty flumoxed, he usually has everything, does anyone know of someone else online that might have them? Or why those two parts are impossible to find? Obviously I could have the old ones rebuilt but I'd rather not. Thanks in advance, Scott.

Thanks but those are rears, they've been no trouble to find, which adds to the mystery of why I can't find front wheel cylinders.

i take it that you have drum brake's on the front instead of disc brakes !

What about cross platform? The old sedans from the 60 and 70's had drums on the front, have you contacted Gm for a part number that will work?

choppervon

Oh yes, definitely drums. And I will bring the cylinders to the parts desk to see if 1970 truck/panel van (or any) parts will work, I was just checking here to see if some know a wheel cylinder that would work before I start chasing it.

Are you 1000% sure of the year? Try other years...???


Maybe it's time for a conversion!

It's a bit of a beater haha, I use it to transport my musical gear so I keep it pretty rough looking on the outside. It runs great and has the metal divider wall and door between the cab and the rear so it's pretty secure. And thanks.

Yes it's def 1970, off the top of my head the parts fit years 1968-70. I'll bring them to my local kickass parts desk, if we can't find a match they go to get machined/sleeved. If that doesn't work then it's conversion time.

These front wheel cylinders have got to be sitting on a dusty shelf/shelves somewhere, I can't believe they just dropped off the face of the earth.
