If the pistons and dust covers are in decent shape you can buy the cups at most local parts houses if you know the size.

Re: Are Huck brake wheel cylinder rebuild kits available
Cylinder covers were broke during removal on a couple, however on the first one I disassembled the pistons and cylinder look good. No pits and smooth. Shouldn't the pistons be replaced with cups and spring?

The pistons don't come with a rebuild kit. Generally they are all right.

Make sure your don't use silicone brake fluid. The cups made for the older trucks aren't always made of EPDM rubber and don't hold up to silicone fluid.

Re: Are Huck brake wheel cylinder rebuild kits available
I am replacing the rubber boots - do all new boots come made of the EPDM rubber or do I need to request it? Or do I need to stick with the none silicone fluid for my old chevy brakes??
