I'd like to know all the components to his tone and tab to something like that.

 

Even though it's became a standard, that tone is still so unmistakeably "Chet".

Hmmm, just found part of the tab here

One of my guitar heroes who I was fortunate enough to see a few times. As far as the tone components:

 

Start with a Gretsch, add filtertrons or dynasonic pickups, a Standel amp, then practice your ass off. There are variations on that formula that will help you achieve that tone. Good thing too because Standel amps are the hardest part of it. Some great web sites out there too for both Gretsch and Chet.
