Single master cylinder?
Could somebody tell me why some trucks(57-60) have two master cylinders? Mine only has one. I sure this was probably an option, but could you tell me any more about it? Angus, 57ford, kenny, somebody? Thanks in advance for your help. -4speed

Please reference book entitled,"How to restore your Ford"(or something like that!). Look under brakes/options. (ducks punch from 4spd...)

The second one drivers side is for the hydraulic clutch. It has nothing to do with the brakes.
