Brake Cylinders needed for '63 F-600 ..

Hi all
Following "Customcab's" suggestion, I've been searching through FTE for references to probs with obtaining new '63 F-600 brake cylinders .. I found a couple of references but nothing specific, so I'm throwing open my quest for suggestions on sourcing the following parts ;

1. 2x R/H Rear brake cylinders
2. 2x L/H Rear brake cylinders
3. 1x R/H Front brake cylinder
4. 1x L/H Front brake cylinder
5. All screw in unions to suit all brake cylinders, (I'll make up the pipes here)
6. Chrome Front Bumper for same

I'm restoring my recently imported '63 F600 Ramp Truck with a 292 Y-block V8, 4 speed manual box, & 2 speed rear end on a twin wheel axle ..

Please adv who I can contact to source parts for this beast .. There seems to be oodles of suppliers for F-1s and F-100s but nothing for the big Fs ..

Many thanks

Much more info is needed...when working on the brakes of an F600.

There are myriad types and diameters of wheel cylinders used in these trucks. It all depends on the size of the front/rear brake shoes and the weight capacity of the front/rear axles.

To figure out what's correct, myself (or anyone else) will need to know the following:

What is the AXLE code found on the Warranty Plate? This is necessary to find out what the weight capacities of the axles are.

What are the sizes of the front & rear brake shoes?

The front brakes could be: 14" x 2 1/2" // 15" x 3" // 16" x 2 1/2"

The rear brakes could be: 15" x 4" // 15" x 4 1/2" // 15" x 5" // 15" x 6" // 16 1/2" x 4 1/2"

There is no factory chrome front bumper for these trucks, as Ford didn't offer one.

The F500/750 front bumper is not the same as used on F100/350's.

Firstly welcome back after your illness .. I hope you haven't rushed back too soon .. This site wouldn't be the same without your sagely posts .. Take care ..
As promissed I will get the Warranty plate data, check the brake shoe sizes & I note your comment re the non availability of a Chrome Bumper ..
Cheers for your help ..

Hey, ND, I saw your note here about replacing the right side wheel cylinders with the left side. Did they do this in the F-100's too? Had a heck of a time locating a right side and finally ended up re plumbing the axle to use a left on the right.
Sorry for the hijack, TR.

Nope.

You had trouble finding a rear wheel cylinder for a 1961 F100?

They're the same as...and fit a gazillion different passenger cars!

D3ZZ2261A (replaced D2ZZ2261A, C6OZ2261A, C3AZ2261A and B7A2261A) .. Right Rear Wheel Cylinder-7/8" / Obsolete

D3ZZ2262A .(replaced D2ZZ2262A, C6OZ2262A, C3AZ2262A and B7A2262A) .. Left Rear Wheel Cylinder-7/8" / Obsolete

Fits: 1957/72 F100 / 1957/64 Full sized Ford's / 1966/73 Mustang / 1963/69 Fairlane/Torino/Montego/Comet/Falcon / 1967/73 Cougar / 1974/75 Maverick/Comet...and etc!

Now...if you said you had trouble finding a 1905 Colt Auto (the forerunner of the 1911), I could understand it. Like WRACo Model 1895 Flatsides, these puppies are very hard to find.

Right then now i've got the relevent part numbers I can make a few phone calls ..

I think I'll try to get from one source as I'll save on carriage costs .. It's coming across the pond so it's always the best plan ..

BTW Does anyone know if these beasts were officially imported to UK or Europe by FMC ? ..

No probs with the hijack OC, as I also have a number of other Ford vehicles including a '52 F-1 so it's all of interest ..

Thanks again ..
Paul

My guess is no...as the streets across the pond are very narrow.

The USAF in Europe (Ramstein AFB in Germany for example) prolly had some, but that's about it.

John, I actually got 3 different wheel cylinders with 2 different part numbers on the box and they were all 3 identicle. Wagner's, not OEM. Gave up and just replumbed the axle. It really needed the new pipe anyway.

My personal sidearm is my dad's 1911. According to the serial# it was part of a big batch sold to the Navy in 1918. I shoot it at least monthly.

3. Brake Adjusters to fit above cylinders
4. Bleed Nipples for same

Many thanks
Paul

The brake lines were not available from Ford, they had to be made up from bulk tubing, nuts & ferrules. There are no specific part numbers for these parts.

Since you're prolly buying the wheel cylinders from Green Sales, ask them to look up the other stuff, as I'd rather not have to do it, considering the state of my health.

I don't get paid (by anyone) for doing this jazz, and looking up all these parts...then listing them...is a time consuming chore.

Green Sales does not charge for research and will prolly have all the parts.

You can pass this brake info along: 1957/63 Ford Truck Parts Catalog =

Front brake parts: Text-Section 20.1 / Parts List # 7.

Rear brake parts: Text-Section 22.1 / Parts List # 9.

THAT'S PERFECTLY UNDERSTANDABLE & YOUR HELP TO DATE HAS BEEN "ABOVE & BEYOND" ..

OTHER PARTS # CHASERS PLEASE TAKE NOTE & LET BILL GET HIS MUCH DESERVED R & R ..

I thought you were taking on too much, too soon to be good for your health .. Your talking to someone who after the removal of a brain tumor, took best part of 2 years to get back up to speed & I don't know that I'm quite there even now .. You take it easy Bill, & get yourself REALLY fit again soon ..

Cheers
Paul
