    Ask around....someone should have some used ones. Same parts were used from 51 to about the mid 60s. on cars and 1/2 ton trucks.

    The plungers were the same for a while, the adjusters changed a bit earlier when they went to self adjusting brakes.

    Try these parts from O'Reilly's H1414-2 link pins ($1.99) these work for sure and maybe their H1500 adjuster screw ($3.49).

    That's awesome! It's amazing what can be done in dress blues...especially after a few drinks
