wheel cylinder diameter 48 f6
Hey everyone, so I jus recently found out that my truck is an f6 from a reproduction owners manual I bought. Well, I lost the manual for now and one of my wheel cylinders gave out on me yesterday, I'm jus trying to figure out what the diameter of my wheel cylinders is so i can get rebuild parts for it on rockauto.com

The front wheel cylinder is 1 3/8" # 92Y 2261. (same as the rear on an F3)
Jst Automotive, Lebanon, Tn has 2, CollectorsAutoSupply.com has several
The rear wheel cylinder is 1 1/2" #91T 2261
CollectorsAutoSupply.com has several, Wesley Obsolete Parts LIBERTY, KY has 1, Antique Auto Arlington Ford ARLINGTON, TX has 2.
Job Lots also has them. I bought 2 rears last year from Job Lots, they were $55 each. They also had the show linings.

Hmm, interesting
My old Ford parts catalogs confirm the information Joe posted above, however:
I remember my 50 F5 came with an 1-1/4 cylinder on the front right side and 1-3/8 on the left. My 48 had identical front cylinder castings but one was bored 1-1/4 and the other 1-3/8. I figured someone had bored it out to do a cheap rebuild, but maybe this confusion has been around for a number of years.
My old Ford parts catalogs confirm the information Joe posted above, however:
- The specifications section in the back of the Shop Manual shows the front wheel cylinders as 1-1/4 inch
- The rebuild kits I bought from NAPA (by application) were 1-1/4 inch
- I bought replacement wheel cylinders from joblotauto.com and I am fairly certain they were 1-1/4 inch although I don't recall that I actually measured them.

I just replaced the two rear wheel cylinders on my 1952 F6 with these:
NAPA UP4511 Wheel Cylinder - Bore Size : 1 1/2",
Wheel Cylinder Line Thread Size : 1/2-20
I'm sure NAPA has a rebuild kit as well for them as well.
Oh, and don't be scared off that the computer doesn't list your 48 F6 as a compatible vehicle. Napa's computer database is very hit and miss on these old big trucks.

BTW, that looks like the same cylinders I got from JobLots.
