looking for front and rear wheel cylinders for 1954 f0rd f-500! any help! thanks! james west

 

Joblot Automotive in NY? They're online.
NAPA?
Local big truck shop should have them.

Welcome to FTE!

 

I have called all my local auto parts, even places that in the past would have old parts! most all of them say the book only go's back to 1960. however one parts place did get me 6 rebuild kits, and two new upper rear cylinders, and a new master cylinder, so I will try to rebuild them first, but I did call napa, and they were the first ones to tell me no way.

 

Sounds like your napa is giving you the run around. Our napa here in town can get me everything I need for my '52 f-600. When I say everything i mean every little thing. Surely you can find another napa closer to you to help you out. Call another napa or try joblots like suggested above. Good Luck

 

i dont deal with the napa as the greybeards are long gone here . i can get our wise sage no. dummy to give me parts numbers so it'll make it easier for 'em and they still cant get it done . now just around the corner there's an oreilley's and there is a younger guy , and a guy just a little older than me when i walk in they go grab the books and we go hunting . aint been too much they cant find yet , including wheel cylinders .they even got 1 flathead starter in stock . they keep it cause some dain fool they know has a couple , and figure eventually he's gonna need one . it's about 10 bucks higher than mail order but no shipping and no waiting .
