I have a 1965 Dodge Dart GT with drum brakes front and rear. I am changing out the wheel cylinders and would also like to replace some parts that I do not know the name of or where to purchase them.
The parts are the slotted pins that come out of the wheel cylinders and push against the top of the brake shoes. These parts don't come with new wheel cylinders and I have not been able to find them at auto parts stores or online.
Can someone help me out as to what they are called and where I can buy some?
 
Wheel cylinder pushrods from 6 bucks each or so on Ebay to 20 something at yearone.com
 
They are called wheel cylinder "Plungers"
Think you are going to have to find them Used, from somebody.
Don't know if your going to find them new, from vendors, separately.

Why do you want to replace them anyway??
They are a non wear item.

Ok, for that education.
Never heard them called that before.
Might depend on what part of the country your from, or what you heard them called, when growing up around automobiles.

I have personally heard them called both just like the master cylinder pushrod/plunger. :D

Pushrods are for cars, and plungers are for toilets. LOL

Just kidding.
