Hi Klaus

Look here for a little explanation. Probably your pics are too big to upload. Then you'll have to resize them first or upload them at a free pics hoster like imageshack.

Do you have a manual?
There should be specifications in the manual.
Military vehicles were usually designated with an "off road" carrying capacity(GVM) which was conservative (for example the Jimmy 6x6 was rated at 2.5 ton for off road, and (essentially) the same truck as a 6x4 was rated as 5 ton, on road.
I think the authorities are now looking for the manufacturers ratings, and a manual with those specifications, should satisfy them.
I have found that the specs. changed during production, and providing the specs from the manual from the right printing, was enough to get me through.
My vehicle was a WC 54(?) 3/4 ton Dodge Ambulance, the carrying capacity went up from 15cwt to 18cwt,during production, so I used the earlier service manual specifications.
Good luck!

Here´s an example, although it lists Ford specs and not the Wrecker specifically.

Klaus,

The brake cylinders are the same for 15-cwt to 60-cwt trucks:

Chevrolet master brake cylinders are no longer available..... and unless you find a new old stock for sale by a collector or on Ebay..... you are out of luck.

The most common practice in Canada is to have them rebuilt by a professinal that does this specialized work. They will ream out the inside and install a full SS stainless steel insert and a full rebuild kit. The resulting work is usually good for life....... or at least your life...... cost is about $200 Canadian.
