Hello forum members, my name is Brian and I am new here in the forum. I am from Germany and I am 43 years old. My hobby is to wrench on old rusty cars and get them back on the road. I am currently restoring a 1970 Chevrolet C10 Stepside, this will be a frame off restoration and I am currently putting the body back together. The only thing missing is the front end. My favorite is a special vehicle though. I still have a 1966 Chevrolet C60 Firetruck. This one is just technically completely renewed. All lines (fuel, water, vacuum, brakes, hoses, cables/electrics and lighting equipment. This is also my problem at the moment. The project is not going any further because I can't find parts for the brake system and hope that there is someone here who can help me or give me a secret tip on how to get the parts. The search for the wheel brake cylinders is hopeless. I have the following installed: Drum brake wheel cylinder for rear axle twin tires there are two per side (top/bottom) Model Delco Moraine 5467726 1 1/2 inch It is also difficult to find the master brake cylinder because it has a large diameter: Master brake cylinder with clutch cylinder installed part Wagner Lockheed FF 54846 DUAL BORE SIZE 1 3/4" & 1 1/8" PORT SIZES 1/2 20 1/4 28 One more question about the brake shoes. Which ones go in there? Brake drum diameter: 15 in Brake shoe width: 4 in Does that mean I need brake shoes 15x4? I can't find those anywhere either unfortunately. I don't want this project to fail. When the Chevy is running again, it should be used for good purposes. I hope you can help me. Many thanks and greetings from Germany Brian Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
