Anyone know of a good source for brake components for 58 GMC 250. Mc, wheel cylinders,shoes, and booster. Thanks Don

ive always found my local NAPA store to be a great source.Dont know if you have one in Arkansas.
Also, Chevys of the 40's in Vancouver Wa is a good source.

Thanks, Napa stores all over the state. Went to their website and the only thing I found was the brake shoes. No mc and no wheel cylinders. Both Rock auto and Parts geek claim to have it all but lots of bad reviews on both.

the other possibility is to find an old school parts store in your area where they still use the old books and have counter guys who still can find parts.

Rock auto has several grades of parts. If you stick to name US brands like Raybestos you should be ok.

Or what has worked for me a lot is to get the correct part number off Rock Auto and the search that part number. You have to sort through the list to make sure it shows your exact truck model though. They list eveything for 59 GMC trucks down the row with the model it actually fits behind the part number. You can also click on the blue part number and see what else that part fits and form an idea if you might be able to find the part locally without a hassle.
