NAPA or rockauto.com. Rear wheel cylinders were the same, 1" x 1-1/8", from 1939 through 1948.

NAPA: UP8266 left, UP8267 right--$68 each.
Rockauto (Raybestos) WC8266 & WC8267--$47 each.

Prewar cars and light trucks used 1" x 1-1/4" cylinders in front; postwar used 1" x 1-3/8". The smaller cylinders usually work better in a light car such as an A, but new ones have not been available for a long time. Jeff at Moose's Obsolete Brake Parts might have a set. 707-792-9985. Otherwise you'll have to find an old set and have them sleeved.
