I think the front wheel cylinders will be the same as any 1 1/2 ton prior to 1953. 1 1/4" bore The rears seem to be the same as a conventional cab of the same years. Same for the master cylinder. I get stuff like that from Carquest here. Their computer only goes back to 1962, but they have books going back into the 40's which include pictures to match up. A good grade of hydraulic fluid is all you need for the hoist. A farm implement dealer or a truck dealer who sells stuff to guys pulling end dumps can help you. I can't help you with the sheet metal, etc. I also like the truck.
