Hi Guys,

I hope that someone can help me fast!

On the way back from the Dallas show, my brakes starting dragging..front only.. By the time I parked it, the two front wheels were smoking.. I think that the fact that the truck sits around so much, rust has developed inside the the front brake cylinders, and is keeping the pads from returning all the way..

Good assesment? Anyway, the truck is now at a freinds house, and I got two days to get it ready for the 4tth of July.

I was hoping someone had NAPA numbers for me...Its too late to order from Vintage or someone else... I need them tonight or tommorow!

I want to get new front brake cylinders and new brkae shoe return springs, in case thats the problems..

Anybody have these numbers off hand? It for a 1945 WC-51. I beleive the later WC had the 14" brakes all around??? Maybe the same as the earlier Power Wagons?
