During the restoration of my 1941 F15A 12 cab, I replaced all the brake components. All parts had to be researched and located, these numbers represent current replacement parts which are exact fit as original. Please share these amongst the cmp community at will... I wish I had them in the beginning.
Wheel Cylinders front Raybestos WC4571
rear Raybestos WC4511
Master cylinder EIS EH572
Brakes Hoses front (2 req'd) Raybestos BH5931
front (1 req'd) Raybestos BH25629
rear (1 req'd) Raybestos BH31669
I have also been asked by many cmp'ers regarding other numbers which I still have (someplace!) and will post when I find them.
A note to many, Ford and Chevrolet utilized many civvy parts during the war from whatever was already on the shelf or previously engineered. Finding these old parts is not as difficult as manty believe. A starting point for sourcing is to compare civilian vehicles of the same era, either pre or post-war that would utilize the same engine, brakes etc.
The numbers for the Ford brakes were listed under 1949 to '56 3 ton commercial truck, just to give you an idea.
Many parts jobbers have catalogs with pictures and dimensions to guide a person in the right direction.
Hope this helps some of you fellows out.
