Firemack Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Albert,New are not available, the easiest solution is to send them to Whitepost Restoration in Virginia, they do excellent work and rebuild the cylinders with brass sleeves and are then guranteed for as long as you own the truck for about the same cost as new. 2 day turnaround. They include all new hardware and rubber etc. Firemack Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/10382-wheel-cyl/#findComment-39301 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the concerns that you ran into. My out was going to take them to a machine shop and have them drilled and retapped. Seemed to be a good alternative for me financially. NAPA had in stock enough bleeders for me to replace all 8. I got lucky as none of mine broke but I got really nervous. Only stripped the heads on 3 of them.
