Its called a double action air cylinder (nose mount). I think it was 1.5" bore and 1" stroke. 
Grainger PN 6W085 (page 2879 in catalog #389). You need to modify the mounting bracket to accept 
the cylinder and add nipples to attach the hoses. A friend of mine 
(John Sweeney) did the whole thing up pretty sweet. It helps to have friends who work in machine 
shops....
