Wheel cylinder pushrods
I took apart the rear brakes last week to rebuild them and now can't remember if there were notched pushrods connecting the wheel cylinders to the shoes. All my parts went into a small box and there are no pushrods to be found. Some of the pics I've looked at show them and some don't. Does anyone know if they were ever really there???

I didn't do the cylinder. I guess after work i will pull off the other drum and see what's in that side. I live out in the sticks so was trying to avoid yet another trip to town if they somehow got lost and I need to find a replacement

Right! That's a pic of a new wheel cylinder. Don't the push-rods come in a separate baggy (if/when provided)? Now you've got me doubting myself...maybe it was my bud's old Ford.

When I replaced my wheel cylinders a few months ago the new cylinders did not come with new push rods. I reused the old ones, if you lost them don't panic. They are cheap, around two and a half dollars each!

I think I'm onto something! It's possible that the 9" shoes don't use pushrods but the 10" do. Here is a write up that shows my set up exactly and it does not use the pushrods.

For the smaller drum 8.25, this is the basic setup. Nothing between the cylinder and the shoes, but there is a notched spreader bar with a small spring on it between the shoes just under the cylinder.
