    What Jeep/truck/car are these brakes from on my Jeep? I don't think they are original equipment but I really have no idea. I need to replace frozen up cylinders, maybe more....

    If they are Bendix, I'd suggest '72 CJ which does not use the finned drums. If the finned drums will clear your wheels, ok, but otherwise...

    Maybe they are Bendix. The retainin springs look wrong to me, and they are not self-adjusting. They could be from an F-100 and converted - supposedly those can be adaped rather easily. Another possibility is Lockheed from a Utility Truck, but I think those look really different.

    If I were home, I could manipulate the window and level on your picture and see the self adjusters, but the picture you gave us is too dark without some work.

    They may not currently be self adjusting but at least some of the parts are there.

    l aready replaced that thing!
    Looks like the '72 and '74 CJs have the same brake cylinders.
    I guess the best thing is to pull mine and then bring it to NAPA.

    To the OP - look here and compare with your brakes http://oljeep.com/gw/76_tsm/Section9.pdf - the '76 has the Corporate rear axle, but the brakes parts look the same. Compare with figure 9-13.

    Yeah the '72-73-74-75 CJs are all going to have the same brake parts, except for the drums (same size but finned 74-75) and the addition of combination valve '74ish.

    How easily could these become self adjusting again?

    Just these parts, the kit is usually pretty cheap.

    Well the 72cj5 cylinders fit just perfect. Thanks for the info.
    The self adjusters look easy enough. I’ll be getting them set up soon.
