I have to work on the brake system on the my 1948 2ton. I pulled the second rear wheel today. The wheel cylinder is frozen, in that the adjusters won't turn. The entire linkage is pretty stiff and rusty. I thought the rears on the 2tons had two cylinders per wheel? The shoes look okay, and I may take in the drums and see if they can be turned. When I pulled the axle out of the rear end it looks as though there may be some water in the differential, the splines looked a little rusty. Is that gasket going to be available if I remove the cover on the differential?
After dinner I will start on the front wheels. Dang those wheels are heavy. I will most likely have to do the king pins too the upgrade the safety factor. Steers like a boat going down stream.
