single piston wheel cylinders?
I'm looking for some single piston wheel cylinders to do a brake conversion and I would like them to be fords (If not I guess thats gonna have to be ok). I've read in a few places that 62-63 F100 had them on the front drums, but can't find a part supplier that will sell them.
Searching for the topic on google, I also came across one of MAC's antique auto part catalogues, the truck one. Under the tie rod section they describe some other rods on page 148 as for:
"73-79 Left outer, 2 wheel drive, sinlge piston brake caliper, 6200 & 6900 LB GVW, F250.......D3TZ-3A131-A"
I didn't think they had disk brakes then, so do they mean sinlge piston wheel cylinder? Could this be my donor vehicle? I would like very much too be able to pull parts from the yard.
thanks
Scott

I think I need to explain what I think the terminolgy means so that you know what I'm looking for.
When I say wheel cylinder, I automatically think drum brake.
When I say Caliper I think of disc brakes.
I'm looking for ford single piston cylinders for drum brakes (I think some people may call those slave cylinders, but whenever I hear the words "slave cylinders" my mind automatically goes to the clutch).
Hope that helps

What about the single piston cylinder.
With some more research on google today I found some other names:
uni-servo wheel cylinder
single servo cylinder etc
Anyone know where to find them in a ford?

I knew what you were talking about, you see them in big trucks sometimes. You might be able to go to NAPA and look in the brake book and find something. I gotta ask what you are converting to and why though.
