Default 1937 Ford Truck

Recently I came across this 1937 Ford Truck, it's was a two owner vehicle with the second owner doing absolutely nothing to it aside from having it shipped. I bought the truck to use for parts for another 1937 ford truck that I had pulled out of a sinkhole. But this truck is in a lot better condition so I was looking at restoring it. I was told it is a "Tonner," but I think it was actually a bigger truck 1 1/2 ton, 2 ton. I have plans to pull the motor out this spring and to rebuild it if it is good. The question I have is where to go for the brake parts. If they are off a big truck I am sure they are obsolete by now (Both my 46 and 71 big trucks brakes are obsolete), and I don't know the condition to see if the pads can be relined and rotors turned. Also curious as to what tire size would have come on this truck, there were 7.00/20's and 8.25/20's on it. Plans are to keep the truck as original as possible, so any help is appreciated.

I was informed from another site that this is not a Tonner, but rather one of the bigger trucks. Did they have a name? I have a 1947 chassis and was told that based on the tires and springs its designation would have been Ford Heavy Duty. Curious if these had similar designations.
