2. Do you have to remove the front wheel spindles to get access to the bolts holding the wheel cylinders on? Looks like the bolts are right behind park of the steering knuckle with no room for a wrench to get in there.

I have a 3/4 ton (1500) sitting out back without a body on it, if I can hack my way through the thick underbrush (mower broke, again) I'll see if I can tell how it mounts.
Or, if I have a few moments, I'll look it up in the manual and see if that has any helpful advice.

3. What is that canister mounted on the driver's side fender near the master cylinder? It has a vacuum line connected to the intake manifold and another line going to the oil filter mounting assembly. ?????

My "guess", and only because I have a '61 1500 that was similarly modified to become a camper, is that it isn't connected via a vacuum line to the intake, it should be an oil line. It is likely a secondary oil filter, since it connects to the oil filter mounts.
My '61 1500 has something similar, and is the source of many oil leaks. Although mine, as I recall, goes from the filter mount to the "extra" filter, then back into the oil pan through a connection on the side of the pan. Every connection point on mine seems to leak.
What gets me is why some company chose to use 3/4 ton (1500) trucks for this instead of 1-tons (2500). At least they weren't half tons!
