Very cool. A site for 2nd Gen trucks. I'm starting a brake job on my '74 Hilux Longbed. I'm probably going to need new or rebuilt wheel cylinders and possibly a new master cylinder or a rebuilt one. If nothing else, I'll need rebuild kits for the master cylinder and all four wheel cylinders. I've checked my local Toyota dealership with no luck. So I'm counting on you all. Anybody know of a place that sells OEM master cylinders, wheel cylinders? Or rebuilt ones? Or kits? Thanks for any help.

Thanks tbplus10. I'll do that.
I tried trdparts4u.com and found everything but that particular site. Like Toyota of Dallas, and other parts sites but never could find just that site. Am I missing something?
Got it. Thanks.
I drove this truck off the lot, new, in 1974 and I've been driving it ever since. So it's a one owner vehicle, the only new vehicle I've ever purchased.
Brake job update. Thanks to tbplus10 and his referral to Toyota of Dallas I can order two new brake cylinders for the driver and passenger side rear brakes. But according to the parts department at Toyota of Dallas, neither kits nor the front cylinders or master cylinder are available. More later....
Wow, that's impressive. I was 1 year old at the time, lol.
I was 27. The Oil Embargo was in full swing. It was the tail end of the muscle-car era. Gas went over (gasp!) $1 per gallon. V8s were out, 4 bangers were in and I wanted a truck. I bought the best one on the market and haven't looked back.
Ok, i'm not following. They're not made anymore or they just don't have them in stock, like a backorder?
Well, here's the quote from a Mr. Teckley in the parts department at Toyota of Dallas (great customer service BTW), "Driver rear side complete wheel cylinder PT# 47550-35160. Passenger rear side complete wheel cylinder PT# 47550-35160. Unfortunately the brake master cylinder and or rebuild kit are discontinued, along with the front wheel cylinders and or rebuild kits."
I took that to mean that that Toyota no longer supplies the kits or replacements for the master or wheel cylinders. So I'm placing an order today for the rear wheel cylinders and I'll keep looking for kits or replacements for the master cylinder and front wheel cylinders. I can't believe that someone isn't offering rebuilt masters and front wheel cylinders or at least kits. Can you help? As a last resort I may look into a disc brake conversion for the front end. I'll need to consult with other folks on this website to see what might work. Thanks for your interest.
Brake job update: Ok, my local Napa parts dealer has located a master cylinder (new, I believe) in Portland, Ore. which I will order today. I'm trying to order two new rear wheel cylinders from Toyota of Dallas. I may have to settle for rebuild kits for the front wheel cylinders. More later...
Well, it's up on blocks right now, not looking its best. Maybe after the brake job. Thanks for your interest.
Brake job update. Got all the parts. The rear wheel brake cylinders came from Toyota of Dallas. They are OEM. My local NAPA parts store found a rebuilt master cylinder in Philadelphia, not Portland as I mentioned earlier. Cabe Toyota, in Longbeach, Ca., located the 4 rebuilt wheel cylinders for the front brakes. I flushed all the brake lines with clean Dot 3 fluid and the rear brake cylinders are installed. I'll be installing the front brake wheel cylinders today, then the master cylinder followed by a system bleed and brake shoe adjustment. While under the front end I noticed the tie rod ends are pretty sloppy so that may be my next project.
