Rear Brake Cylinder Upgrade

I need to know what size and year of GM Cylinders I need for my 99.. I searched and found only to ask for 99 GM Cyclinders, Do I get 1 tonne, or 3/4 tonne? Dose anyone have a Part Number, that fits my truck?

I am in the middle of a brake mess.. The front Pass, side caliper stuck on me 800km from home. No big deal, just lots of noise. When I got about 50km from home, my front Drivers side wheel bearing fell apart and left me stranded on the hiway in a VERY dangerouse location.... After a half hour of me flagging cars away from my stranded Goat with my wife and two kids inside, opp showed up, and he almost got hit twice.....There is nothing worse than watching your family almost get rearended by a water truck, when there is absolutly nothing you can do...

Sorry for the rant....

So I am replacing both hub/bearings, both rotors, both calipers, and new pads of course, plus new flex lines. The shop I do my work in has found with many overheated brake jobs, IE. stuck calliper or burnt wheel bearings, where there has been alot of heat generated. The Flex lines deteriorate on the inside to the point where you cant push compressed air through them.

Just something to check next time you got your calipers off.

So I figured I would check the rears while i was at it, and I have a leaky cylinder, so I would like to BOMB it if I can...

I am ordering the parts first thing in the Morning if anyone can help that would be great...

Thanks muchly
