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...)

Ok Daryl, I thought you said you never read that. Besides, I don't need advice from a darksider. -4speed

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

Haha, You have no idea how stupid I feel right now, I just assumed it for the brakes. Oh well, now I know. Thanks, 57Ford
