A friend has offered to help me rebuild the master brake cylinder and wheel cylinders on my 1959 Studebaker Deluxe pickup. He's telling me to just go over to my local Pep Boys or NAPA and pick them up. I think at best I'll get some 20 year old that will ask is that German or Japanese, or be laughed out of the store. Any suggestions on the best or better sources?

Master cylinder should not be a problem, it's used on some early jeeps, forget the wheel cylinders unless you just need cups..

The store I work at can get brake parts for a Studebaker. Any good parts store should be able to, though you'll likely need a parts guy who can read a book..
I have gotten Stude truck wheel cylinders from NAPA, just earlier this year.

A quick on line search shows truck wheel cylinders listed at both autozone and advance auto parts. Napa once listed quite a bit of studebaker parts.Comment

I second NAPA. They got the rebuild kits and hoses for my 41 the same day!

OK Lets Hit It: Catapiller Fork Lift Trucks use some, if not all, the same brake cylinders. Friend did a'41 Champion brake job and all the cylinders were replaced with CAT cylinders. Good Luck.

AutoZone also has Stude parts indexed on the computer and available. Not NOS, the parts are current production crossed from other makes that are the same. No age issue.

No deceptive flags to prove I'm patriotic - no biblical BS to impress - just ME and Studebakers - as it should be.Comment
