I see Ebay has but ridiculously priced compared to similar units, tia. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 1,660 Curmudgeon | | Curmudgeon Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 1,660 | I would guess the 1939 1/2 ton panel truck uses the same master cylinder as a 1939 1/2 ton truck.
The Master Parts List says 1 inch diameter master cylinder 1938-1946 for a 1/2 ton.
Cast number 5450256. Part number 5454575 correction 5454576. Is this what you have now?

The poster wants booster and master cylinder.
No other info provided so assume:
* 1/2 ton front and rear drum brakes
* Dual reservoir
* Probably 7" booster (if it will fit)
* Cutting extra hole in floorboard to access new master cylinder fluid fill
