You have to put a repair kit in it or put on a new cyl. If you are not qualified to do it yourself you will have to find a shop or mechanic that can. The 1950 on back trucks used Huck brakes. they are kind of ornery to work on.

At a minimum I would suggest doing both sides but really you should be looking at the whole system. If the whole system was fairly new and one cylinder failed then that would be a case to do just one. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,953 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,953 | Part numbers for Raybestos 1947 Chevy Half Ton Wheel Cylinders;

They do not list a repair kit.
Any good parts store has or can get them. Not cheap. | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | Going by current DOT and MAP regulations for repair shops, hydraulic components (wheel cylinders, calipers, and hoses) should always be replaced in pairs. This both due to potential failure of the side not replaced and to maintain even braking power on boht sides of the axle (worn vs new parts).
