It musta been leaking back past the master cylinder piston seal, which is why it didn't work before too.
One thing to consider, especially since ya sprayed it with carb cleaner, assuming you sprayed everything including the rubber seals with the carb cleaner....Carb cleaner, and most any solvents, will soften up rubber and make it swell a bit.

If this dumptruck is something you use on public roads, it would probably be safest to go ahead and get a new kit for it.
And, like mentioned before, it's usually the best bet to dissassemble any master cylinder or wheel cylinder and measure the bore size before buying the kit, especially on older stuff. Seems like 9.99 times outta 10 if you purchased the kit ahead of time, it'll be the wrong size!
