Another road block

So, we're doing this '54 1/2t that came to us in a couple of boxes. Now that all the big parts are fixed and painted I've started assembly. Got the front disc brake kit on and was starting on the rear end. First thing I go hunting for in the box of stuff that's left are the banjo bolts and fittings for the rear wheel cylinders. I guess they got removed by the previous shop that my customer got the truck from and never thrown in the box.

Anyone got a source? Couldn't find them in LMC or Brothers.

Oh well, I guess that means I've got time to mow the shop yard one more time before winter hits.

All the AD with huck brakes had them, Not sure on 54 55 because they had bendix

The line screwed into a brass block that had 2 copper washers and a banjo bolt

Re: Another road block

Dave, they're for the stock brakes. The '54 uses them too. I have the old wheel cylinders, but not the blocks or bolts. Didn't pay much attention until I got the new cylinders and a package of copper washers fell out of the box when I went to fab up the lines for the back axle.
