Front brakes 4x4 3/4 ton PLEASE HELP

I am currently trying to find wheel cylinders for the front of my 1970 chevy truck. It is a 3/4 ton 4 wheel drive. supposedly there are 2 different brake sizes for these trucks. I measured the friction material length at 11 and 13/16 inches. My problem is every wheel cylinder available that i have found is wrong. the cylinders have a larger opening for an extension fitting for banjo type connections. this extension i assume gets the hose out of the way of all the steering. please shed some light on this situation for me. i need to get this truck fixed as soon as i can. thanks

I would recommend removing one of your old cylinders and carried to a quality part store like Napa or Carquest. The discount part stores like Vhatozone are helpless on old stuff. If anything else, buy brake hoses to match the cylinders if the new cylinders look physically the same as the old ones.

Good luck

are there no numbers/part numbers in the cylinders itself, there should be, at which point it could be easily looked up in the parts catalog or cross referenced if the numbers have been changed

got it fixed, as far as i know there are no available cylinders as of now, i finally got the bleeder broke free, honed out the inside threw away the internals and used the parts out of the other cylinder i bought which was wrong, it had the right bore though so it worked out
