Rear Wheel Cylinder Interchange
Do '75 on 15/16" rear wheel cylinders interchange with stock 7/8" wheel cylinders? Do they bolt right in place with no modification required to intal and use?

Charlie, if I remember correctly I replaced the rears on my F-100 from a 64 Galaxie station wagon, and I believe they are 15/16 dia. Best thing to do is have both in hand and decide...pretty sure the bolt pattern is the same.

Re: Rear Wheel Cylinder Interchange
I'm trying to avoid ordering them only to find out that they aren't similar enough. The DC catalog indicates that '64 Galaxie would be 7/8".
However, it does indicate the same part number for 15/16" for other cars starting in '59. So it may work alright.

I know these cost more than the Auto Zone types, but they are 15/16. and I'm pretty sure the two bolt holes are the same on all.
Hope this helps.

Re: Rear Wheel Cylinder Interchange
Their application list includes '75-'79 truck, as well as mid '50s and up cars. I'm thinking they will work.

Re: Rear Wheel Cylinder Interchange
For those who want to know, the answer is yes, they bolt right in.
I'll update later if any problems arise as a result of using bigger cylinders but it seems good so far. They're used '75 on in the 1/2 ton trucks so it seems like they should be a good fit with disc brakes up front, same size drums as the '68 axle assembly I have installed.
