You should be able to get these parts from your local auto parts store. Depending on your area, you might have to go to Napa.

Those are called "wheel cylinders". I would suggest replacing the hoses while you're at it.

On the Firewall where you fill up with brake fluid, i guess the resevoir. Mine is rusted way to bad and lines are gone. I don't know what i need there, i guess i need the whole thing? (its hard to explain when ya don't know what things are called lol).

That is called the "master cylinder" The '60-'62's had a combination brake master cylinder and clutch master cylinder all in one unit. Since you're new to this you might consider investing in a repair manual for your truck. That will tell you a lot, plus have pics and illustrations.

How does the brake petal connect and apply pressure to the brakes??
