According to GM the casting numbers were 5453822, front, and 5453820, rear. However, I can't verify that from personal experience.

fronts are 821 and 822. rears are the 820 which needs the brass block and drilled bolt. car is neat and very original. I hope the owner don't try to over restore car. master cylinder also appears incorrect. there appears to be a fitting in the passenger side boss. one other item the owner might want to look for is a 085 vacuum advance. the car appears to have a 104.
