Save yourself a lot of grief and just buy new wheel cylinders. They are available from Rock Auto for less than US$40 each. Raybestos WC4571 and WC4511 I believe. I think they fit both Ford & Chev 15cwt trucks. Check the parts list on this forum for more part numbers.

Default Brake cylinders

Great catch Leo! A lot of work, good to see you are digging right in.

Wheel brake cylinders and master cylinders are available new, especially in the USA, see e.g. http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...003#post123003 and scroll down a bit.

thanks for all the advice. now it's waiting to come to the house garage to start the serious work on the tear down. i threw one of the original tires in the spare tire carrier to see how it looks, love it.

got the F15a home, and the twins are together. so now starts the disassembly. i took the dog house off and yes there's an engine in there. the more i pick thru the F15a the happier i am. the dash is in not to bad of shape, at least i can read the mileage, LOL. next up will be to take the cab off of the F60 and get the chassis and bed out of the port. once that's done i'll start to really get the F15a stripped down.

my 41 Ford needed some attention too. it's kinda like distant cousins seeing each other for the first time. and they all have flatheads in them.

now that i have the truck in the proper side of the shed. i have finally started the tear down of my f15a. started with the bumper and attachments. got the radiator out and safely stored for now. head lights are out. it seems like every time i work on it i find a new item i didn't know i was missing on the f60l. i'm hoping in the next couple of weeks to get the cab off and get the engine and transmission out. more pictures to follow.
