The 1-ton trucks switched to the bendix-type brakes in '53. Jim Carter lists huck-type replacement shoes for the 1-ton (he may be the only one). Alternatively, you could have your original shoes relined.
You may be out of luck with the drums. It seems new drums are only available for the '53+ AD 1-tons, and even then maybe only for the front. If yours can't be turned, you'll have to search for a good used set.
