Most of the GM guys use the S-10 manual brake wheel cylinders. I would suggest the 7/8" Bendix wheel cylinders (#WC37644T) or cross-reference part number. For shoes, find a brake relining company and take a set of used brakes shoes and have them put full length brake linings designed for a forklift application. They are softer and have a higher coefficient of friction. The other option is to get the soft brake linings from Cotton Performance; they are Part Number 6722-Buick.
