Default Wheel Cylinder problem

so i just bought a 1971 Toyota HiLux recently and as i was bleeding the brakes i realized that the wheel cylinders were all bad. One had even busted open when i pressed on the brake shooting oil all over my friend. I do not have the 200+ dollars to replace all 8 wheel cylinders (i know atleast 3 are bad i haven't even checked the back yet tho i'm just assuming). Unless someone knows where to get some wheel cylinders for a truck that old for anything under 15 dollars, i think i'll just stick with getting a rebuild kit. My only concern in the re-build kits is how long will the cylinders last if i rebuild them all?

well you can always check your local wrecking yard. Heres a tip, if you find what your lokking for, when you got to pay for it say "man, i cant beleive that napa wanted 25 dollars for this stupid little part." when really the part was 75 or what ever, the guy at the wrecking yard goes, "yeah they try to rip you off" when your geting the deal. they try to over chage you, so dont let them.
