Yes I have to believe stainless is the way to go. This is something you want to do only once in a lifetime. Have you looked at Jim Carter's website or given them a call? I have to believe he would have a lead for wheel cylinders for a 1-ton. I have an excellent parts guy here in Philadelphia. I plan to disassemble a wheel and bring it over to him to see if we can make some modern day matches. That won,t be until the winter though.
