As an aside, I generally prefer to go to a local auto parts store over ordering online. But options here are kinda limited. Also it seems nowadays that the stores are pretty much just a franchise (Napa, orielly, autozone, carquest, etc) staffed by salespeople who can do no more than search the same online inventory I can. The knowledgeable parts guys seem to be a dying breed.

On the C2500 wheel cylinders there are with coil and with leaf versions, so I can see why the C2500 cyls would be the same. It's a matter of angled line/bleeder area vs straight for coils. Thanks for the info. Rich and Tom still work at my local NAPA, thank Gawd! I'll just grab the C2500 shoes and hopefully they'll be correct. At least I'll know soon enough to return if they're wrong. I don't like the new manager.
