I found a compatible filter at NAPA here in Virginia for a 1950 GMC half ton with the 270 ci for $22. but you can find it on ebay for $39.95. When I do my PM on my dukw tomorrow I'll pop the top and post number I use here..

And you're sure now? The GMC PU's normally take a shorter (and smaller) element.

Yep. Here's what I use - Hastings LF 106 - 11251413542.
It cross checks with AC P-117. Also Wheel cylinders are off 1950 GMC and go by #3677 $44., also NAPA part. They were made in USA but rebuild in Mexico.
Front WC are # 3406 and are going for $29..
