thanks paul , you are correct i have a different rear end (cadillac ,actually ) the truck frame is 54 chevy and the rear is 55 cad. i replaced the cups with rebuild kit . i can surely rehone (which i rushed through by hand ) and install a new kit and put a new hose on the rear and then check it out ....they are bendix. i was reading a old book which explains the huck style with the larger shoe on the front! you're sharp!!
