Looks like your Travelall is in pretty good shape. You'll be able to get much help on this site. Not sure of you mechanical skills, so be prepared for some responses that go into detail. I have some general answers to your questions:
1. The oil bath air cleaner is the technology of that time and worked quite well. Messy to change the oil, but effective at keeping the air filtered. There were some questions and descriptions of operation in another thread recently. Just go to the L, R, S section and search back a couple of months and you should find the relevant topic.
2. Diligence, my friend, diligence. Emblems are one of the items you'll need to search for and forum members may have readily available extras they can negotiate with you and bumpers are the same. Good examples of either are really scarce and very few sources outside of members can produce them. You might go to travelallparts.com, binderplanet.com and I'm sure other members can chime in some sources. Good luck. The sites won't always produce the results you're looking for. Diligence and patience will need to be your best friends.
3. Not sure your intent with this question. Do you need ones to put on your dash or do you need explanation of their use.
4. King pins again are the technology of that day, and they are still critical elements of suspensions on large trucks with beam (straight) axles. When beam axles went away and independent front suspensions became the technology, king pins went with them. Wiggling at 45-55 mph may possibly be the result of worn king pins and may be accompanied by worn tie-rod ends and other elements of the suspension system under your truck. Chances are the parts could all stand some refreshing. Unless you have specific knowledge about these parts (are an experienced mechanic), it would be best to have that front end gone over by a competent front end shop with knowledge about the old technology. Once they've eliminated the wiggling, you'll be driving pretty straight, but the suspension will still be the way it was with beam front axles.
