trying to figure out what front wheel cyls are on my coupe. there are casting numbers and delco cast on the cyl. there are adjuster rings on both ends of the wheel cylinders. does anyone know of a site that i could cross these casting numbers over to the application to what they originally came off of
hahaha, your funny,, us at advance auto parts,, you know the not a real parts store can look this stuff up also I do it, rick does it, danny does it..
maybe you're doesn't because of the attude you start off with before even walking in the place..
and/or expect an answer asap..
When we have a customer walk in or call, we ask them to call back in a hour or so.. and the regulars have no issue with that.. as they know, the meat and potato's of the parts biz. is todays cars and the shops fixing them..
Just for grins Google the casting number and the word Delco and see what you get. I have great luck tracking down parts and prices using this simple method. Give it a shot.

Early chevy may be what you have.
48 and earlier chevy fronts were 1 1/4", rears 1 3/16"
49-50 chevy fronts were 1 5/16", rears 1 1/8"
fronts had a right and left side.

thanks for the photo seltec8 those pictured shure look like the ones on my coupe.i will check at parts store for availability.would you happen to have a part number? Thanks Again
No p/n just a application. Thats called a huck brake you might also check changing to the later (thru 54) dual servo, they would be a better brake and probably cheaper.
checked parts stores today 49-50 cyls not available.i may try 51 to see if they mount the same.they would be 1/16 smaller bore size. how much braking power would i loose by going to smaller wheel cyl?

Chevy changed to the dual servo brakes in 51. All those parts (chevy thru 54, corvette thru 62) hubs, drums, backing plates etc. would be a bolt on for the older chevy. Some of those parts i.e. drums & shoes were used on later chevys but not as a complete unit. On a wheel cylinder if area goes up so does the force it exerts and on that huck style you need all the help you can get. Hope that helps.
Try The Filling Station, Ecklers, Chevys of the 40s even Speedway Motors
If you need a hone for those wheel cylinders I have a brand new one you can have. If you PM me with your address I will send it to you. Mechanical isn't my thing and I know I will never use it. I bought it for the Rambler but found that the new ones were available so I still have this hone in the package.
martinsr thanks for the offer of the brake cyl hone.i have both the stone type hone and the huckleberry bush type hones.this is really a neet site where you can get all sorts of information.thanks again
