Wheel cylinder link/push pins
 
Hi all, I'm trying to find wheel cylinder links for my rear axle as they are lost.
The axle I have is the one with the 2-3/4 wide brakes.
I have searched the web for hours and I don't seem to find anything for my needs.
I'm from Sweden so it is not so easy to find them in local stores :)

Perhaps you need to search for the right description.
What are ‘cylinder links’?

Thats one of the terms i found when searching, push pins is another. It is the rods that are between hte wheel cylinder and the brake shoe.

What year and model is your truck? Does it have 11" or 13" drums? I'm guessing 13" with the big brake pads.

I searched with google images.
Lots of possibilities.

Sorry I should have been more specific with the details.

I don't know the year as I bougth the axle from a scrapped car (it might have been 76 but Im not sure), the drums are 11-5/32" X 2-3/4" and it has 5 lugs RWD.

I asked for pics because then we could tell what the rearend is from.
Depending on brackets on it, shape of rear cover, pinion style or bolt patterns it might be easier to narrow it down.
You say it came off a car.
What car?

Ahh, I see, its from a C10 but i dont know from wich year, I bought it from a guy who already had removed it so I have never seen the truck it self.
It was some years ago but if I remember correctly it was a 1976.

I see that I wrote car earlier but i meant truck :)

Maybe these will work?
It says it will fit some cars and trucks.

At least they’re fairly cheap.
I referenced car because some came with the 5x5 bolt pattern.
Seems you have a truck 12 bolt.
I’ll do some more searching in awhile.
Gotta feed the cat. LOL!

:), yes and the shipping was reasonable to Sweden.

Thanks for the help to you and all the other people.
