48 Loadmaster 2ton, brake question

I need a kit for the master cylinder. Is it the same as the pickup? or do I need one that is specific to the 2 ton? Where is the best place to buy parts for the old 2 ton?

I know that 1/2 is different than 1 ton so I assume 2 must also be different

If you haven't got the master cylinder apart, take it apart and after honing the bore to make sure it is worth rebuilding take the piston and cups to NAPA and see if they can come up with a kit that matches the size of the cups.

Then if that doesn't work go though the online stores.
