Has anyone swaped the stock wheel cylinders for the bigger S10's?
I need to know what year S10 to use?
Thanks

I just did mine two weeks before Bowling Green and used '86 S-10 with manual brakes. I believe '85 & '86 take the same part number.
Yes, same part number, just verified at Autozones site.
P/N 33892 Rear wheel cylinder for 85/86 S-10 with manual brakes.

Bringing this back from the dead. Without buying the S10 shoes and swapping for the two bigger shoes, are the S10 shoes larger than regal shoes?
It's the S10 wheel cylinders that are larger. Buy two sets of stock brake shoes (for a TR) and use the 4 larger pads and recycle the smaller ones.
Back from the dead for sure,but a good reminders for people thinking about this modification
It is a good upgrade, for drag racing.
It is manageable on the dry with the 7/8 wheel cylinder and 2 primary shoes (large)
Use lots and lots of care in the wet.
GM spent thousands of dollars and thousands of hours to get the braking balance just right on these cars. And for $40 bucks you can really screw it up.
If this is not going to see lots if drag time I would not do it.
On my way to the drags one morning a bozo turned in front of me (on dry road) and in a real live panic stop the backend started around on me , we both got lucky that morning .
