It seems that everything is made in China.
Any benefit to having old ones rebuilt?
I don't think I have any of the original part numbers but all the ones I have the casting says made in USA.
Otherwise, any recommendations? Rock auto? Napa?

I bought a set of these for my 70 Challenger w/ front disc (not stock) and rear drums.

The seller is Rick Ehrenberg who used to be an editor for Mopar Action magazine.

I couldn't tell from the ad where the parts are made.

Truck wheel cylinders. Stock bore is 15/16" and the trucks is 7/8" (Raybestos WC37236, DORMAN  W37236).

Brad... can you add more commentary to your response? I'm not sure what you are suggesting or referring to exactly.

Common substitution to use the truck wheel cylinders, was for helping with the rear brakes locking up first before the fronts, like on wet roads.
Doesn't apply to your question but it's what the ebay seller  Dakota mentioned is likely using.

From our old site.

Ok, thanks.
I thought that was a 69 wheel cylinder issue and there was a different part for 70.
Thanks
