Are ford wheel cylinders the same as Hudson cylinders for 48- 52? Looks like the same
Yes, they are the same except for the s.w.b. models, you may have to grind a small piece off the brake shoes.
What part number did you buy to get that wheel cylinder? Did you change out front and rear/

This is what is on my 1951 Super 6. Your Hudson will have the same brakes. The only annoyance is that the bleed screw head on the brake cylinders is metric. Everything else fits perfectly. Don't know about Ford, you can find out if the part numbers fit Ford.
Like Chis, stated he did a great job of chronicling the parts that fit his car and where to get them. That list and others that cover the parts to repair your Hudson are listed on my website https://hudsonrestoration1948-54.com. Free to all since 1998. Cheers Ken Cates
