Restore firm, dependable drum-brake actuation on your classic Ford truck with the Dorman - First Stop Drum Brake Wheel Cylinder (W37149). This direct-fit replacement was engineered to match the fit, function, and performance of the original wheel cylinder, dropping in on the listed applications: 1970 Ford F-700 and F-7000, 1973 M-400, 1974 M-450, 1975-1977 F-500, 1980-1983 C600 and LN600, 1980-1994 F-600, and 1983-1994 B-600 (engine: All).
Mechanically, the wheel cylinder converts hydraulic brake-line pressure into outward piston travel, pushing the brake shoes against the drum. Signs it may need replacing include brake fluid seeping at the backing plate, a spongy pedal, or uneven drum-brake action; diagnose the cause before replacing, since these can have other sources. Mounting position varies by application, so check the Buyer's Guide tab. Sold individually (package contains 1) — quantity used varies by application; many listed trucks use two. Country of origin: China.
