1953 f100 brakes

Front Drum Brakes listed as having LH and RH wheel cyl. Also Brake Wheel Cylinder Kits listed as parts for front brakes? What is the difference?

The front brake hoses mount on the back inside of the cylinder which is why there is a left and right hand cylinder. Front wheel cylinders have a larger bore (1 1/16" diameter) than the rear (1" diameter).

Hope this helps!

Thanks. My misunderstanding is coming from the catalog separating the purchase of an individual wheel cylinder vs a kit. The individual cylinder is 24.95 while a kit is 79.95. I was confused as to what a Kit meant.
