I would think they would probably fit the 1 Ton. 1951 GMC 1 Ton Flatbed -- It is finally on the road and what a great time I have driving it! 1951 1 Ton Completed My Chevy Master 4 Door is on the Road!

Only aftermarket part is a dual master and that thing stops awesome. Im not sure i would ever need it to stop better. Its adjusted correctly and the pedal is nice and high. If i stomp that pedal your going into the dashboard if your not strapped in or holding on. 1949 GMC 150 Story in Project Journals

The problem is finding replacement drums if you need them. Fortunately I am OK in that regard. 1951 GMC 1 Ton Flatbed -- It is finally on the road and what a great time I have driving it! 1951 1 Ton Completed My Chevy Master 4 Door is on the Road!
