You may get better results posting your VIN and all the info off your warranty plate. For your year, I'm not sure if it's on the driver door or in the glove box. C series brakes are a pita to add fluid to.

You should also have a frame mounted hydro-vac booster.

There can't be many of these made. Never seen a cabover 550 before.
This body style of C Series Tilt Cabs (C550/1100) was introduced in 1957, look basically the same thru 1986.

1958/60's have dual headlamps, front body panel and door emblems changed a coupla times. Many were used as fire trucks, Mack used the same cab for one of their trucks.

Gazillions were sold, it's hard to believe that you live in my mom & grandma's native state (WI) and have never seen any.

If your cylinders have pitting in the bores it may be cheaper to have them sleeved with a stainless steel sleeve rather than buying NOS replacements and you'll never have to worry about pitting again.
I've used Brake & Eqpt in Minneapolis before with good results.

I was not implying that C series was rare LOL I just have never seen a C-550 before
yes it has frame mounted booster.. Looks like NAPA has the clutch master and slave.. They must fit a bunch of Ford trucks.. I will inspect the brake master maybe a kit would do the trick
VIN number is C55COU25724 292 V-8 T98 4speed 135 inch wheel base

Thanks for all the info guys.. I would sure like to run across some of the dress up pieces like chrome bumper and grill, Chrome wheel arches. Stainless west coast mirrors.
Fire trucks typically had this stuff, but I have never seen it in a salvage yard
