was gegtting some parts for the 64 brakes
the parts book said wheel cylinders were the same 59-64
so - when wass the change and what is it? assume 64-65
is the 65 better ?
anyone know? I have a 65 axle that I could put in the 64
if there is some improvement that I might like

Was '65 the year they changed to dual piston wheel
cylinders? My '61 D200 has single piston wheel
cylinders on it.
