2 Ton wheel cylinders

[MBF]

I've got a leaky front whl cyl on the 2 ton that I just bought. Does anyone know what size bore(s) these are? Going to try a rebuild if not badly pitted. The truck was sitting inside in storage for a long period of time before I bought it. Also-does anyone know of a source for the large sized master cylinder fill cap? Mike

I just got my two ton last week, so I haven't even had a wheel off yet.

The PO supposedly did a brake hone and reseal a while back

I have the fill cap and could take some pictures, and measurements if that helps

Let me know if you find a rebuild kit for the master, as that is my next project, once I get this starter issue sorted

The master looks just like the one on my 1 ton so the rebuild kit may be the same. The two ton has a vacuum booster that has just been replaced, and supposedly the rear wheels were done too. I'm hoping the front whl cyls are the same as the 1 ton. I've got spares from the recent replacement I did on the 1 ton. I'll send them out to have them sleeved if they are. I just need a cap. Mike

mike,

the front wheel cylinders on your 2-ton should be the same as the rears on your 1-ton. (as long as your 2-ton is '52 or earlier).

Here are some '52 1 ton rebuild kits. Might work for the fronts?

Thanks guys. The fronts are the same as my 1 ton. I opened it up yesterday 1 1/4" and 1 3/8" cups. I'm hoping the rears are the same. On my 1 ton, the lefts were the same p/n, and the rights were too. The only difference I see is the orientation of the larger cylinder bore to the rear on both sides-so the lefts are the mirror images of those on the right side. Mike

the rear cylinders are not the same as the one-ton. they are larger.
