Hello, I am looking into purchasing a 46 Chevy dump truck. I believe it's a 2 ton. It needs rear cylinders (anyone done this job, is it difficult?). Also wondering what are some unique characteristics to the 46 models. And where will I find the ID badge? Thanks!

Thanks, I reposted this in the General Truck forum (with photos) and am interested in attending shows and events in the Denver Metro Area.
Also, I will post progress photos as I work on making this truck a reliable work truck - once I own it.

Don't know if you got any response on your question about the rear cylinders or not. I did mine a couple years back when I woke my truck from a 20+ year nap. Pretty straight forward actually. My truck is a 53 2 ton Cab Over. Probably not exactly the same as your 46 but brakes are brakes right? Got some kits at NAPA. Two cylinders on each wheel. I think they're 1 1/2" diameter. Hardest part sometimes is getting the wheels and/or drums off. Big hammer and a piece of firewood helps. Anyway, good luck with it.
