Thanks for the input Don. I received a PM from another member suggesting to not rebuild the wheel cylinders, as you can get new ones on RockAuto for about $8. Not sure why Kanter's are over $30 ea. I think I will still rebuild the master cylinder as it's (barely) cheaper than a new one but I also don't know how well a new one will fit in. (Actually the Raybestos one on Amazon is only 50 bucks...). Here's the shopping list so far: (part plates)

- 1.400 front - Brake shoes - BENDIX 264 Premium
- 1.400 rear - Brake shoes - WAGNER Z228R QuickStop
- 1.023 (4 types) - Wheel cyls. - DYNAMIC FRICTION 37554022, 3, 98, 9
- 1.607 front (qty 2) - Duralast Brake Hose 88226
- 1.607 rear - Duralast Brake Hose 88224

I also have some other goodies picked out for some basic gettings-go:

- 5.19128 - GATES 33624 Thermostat Gasket
- 5.19129 - Thermostat - MOTORAD 200170 170 Degree

- 4.0703 - Voltage regulator - GM GENUINE D618
- 4.1016 - Horn relay - STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS HR106T T-Series
- 4.0305 - Point set - UNITED MOTOR PRODUCTS CP026

- 31.3862 (qty 2) - Wipers - TRICO 33122 Classic; Conventional Style

Also picking up a FRAM G2 In-Line fuel filter.

I still need to find some brake line. I think these use 1/4" inch line, right?
