Master Cylinder Bolt Pattern

Have been looking at converting to a dual master cylinder. Found a couple viable options but only listed for F-1 or 48 to 52 ford truck. Not specifically for a F-2 or F-3. Is the stock master cylinder bolt pattern the same on the F-2 and F-3 as the F-1?

Also while I am here, any body know where you can get upper shock mounts for the rear of an F-3??

I am very curious about the master Cylinder pattern add well. What MC options have you found? I would love to find a more or less bolt in option.

I believe the bolt pattern is the same,i think the f3 came with no rear shocks,may be able to make some out of channel iron,that is my plan.

The F-1 bolt pattern is slightly smaller than the F-2/3/4/5/6 one. The F-1 rear upper shock mounts bolt right into the F-2/3 frames.

Took a while to get back but for those that are interested I found adapters to go from a stock master cylinder bolt pattern to a modern style at Sacramento Vintage Ford and at Engineered Components Inc.

The one from Sacramento is long and angles down for more clearance and comes with a replacement pushrod.

The one from Engineered Components is a simple adaptor plate and uses stock pushrod, or so they say.

Not doing me that much good but might help somebody with an inexpensive alternative to the original single Master Cylinder.
