1960 Wheel Cylinders - Numbers

[Jerry M.]

Could someone tell me the part numbers that would be on original front and rear wheel cylinders on a 60 model with base brakes. I have two with 649 on them and I presume they are the fronts. Also will these be labeled " DELCO MORAINE". I looked in the assembly manual and they were not listed. I guess brakes came in as a sub assy.
Thanks for the Help. Jerry 3179

I believe that the fronts should be cast "5459527" (or "527") for the left side and "5459528" (or "528") for the right side. These are 1-3/16" bore cylinder

I believe that the "649" are the rear cylinders. These are 1" bore cylinders.

I believe Joe's response is correct for standard brakes. 1960-62 front wheel cylinder casting numbers for heavy duty brakes are 5453821 (L) and 5453822 (R) and are 1-1/8" diameter. These are the same as were used for standard brakes in 1953-1959 model years.
