I finally have an update! After going over the head of and behind the back of the guy I gave my trans to I found that the ball had been dropped on parts! So this morning I called a supplier up north and had a forward direct drum pressure plate overnighted to the builder $6.00 really that was the hold up why not just tell me! After I get my 8.5 I'm done with him! Anyway last weekend I broak one bleeder so I'm thinking I'll jus get new wheel cylinders should I just go direct replacement or is there a cheep upgrade I don't know about?

If you are talking about the rear wheel cylinders....yes there is an upgrade. It requires s10 cylinders and the brackets shown in the following pics. I believe you have to drill the axle mounting flange of the rearend as these cylinders bolt in, and do away with the stupid retaining clip.
