Sorry I could not give you better news but I did my best to try and find
out an alternative for you. If your's are rebuildable you still save 30$
on the 2 of them. Like I said I have done it in the past with no
problem.

Hi Doc, I guess I gotta just bite the bullet and pay up. I can get
them at Advance auto parts for $35 or a rebuild kit fo around $20.
I'll take the old Cylinders apart and see what I got. The front
calipers were rebuild about a year ago. And with new wheel cylinders
and a rebuild master cylinder I should be good to go.  Unfortunately,
like the body repair. I going to have to put it off for a week or so.
Thanks for looking into it.

Jeff

Concord sedan. I found that the sedan has 10" rear drums and the
wagon has 11" rear drums. The wagon uses a Ford wheel cyl which the
brake line comes in at an angle and the sedan uses a wheel cyl that
the brake line comes in straight, why I have no idea. Anyhow after
checking different parts books for 10 min. he found them listed for
the sedan in the Bendix book. List price was 63$ a piece with jobbers
cost at 36$. His advice was if you can get them for 35$ a piece grab
them you aren't going to get a better price. If the cyl's on the car
are not scored you could get a brake cyl. hone and clean them up and
put kits in them. I have done this in the past, but with me being
able to get new wheel cyl's for 12$ a piece it is not worth
rebuilding them for me.
