Master cylinder upgrade
After reading the many threads on here discouraging the rebuild of the original master cylinder, I've decided to upgrade to a dual reservoir master cylinder. I want to mount it in the original location. I'll make my own bracket. I don't want disc brakes (at this time), and I'd like to keep it all manual as well. What year and make would be the best master cylinder to use? Obviously I need one that goes to a manual drum brake vehicle. Does it matter if it's a car or truck master cylinder? Do any of them have different mounting patterns (wider or narrower, narrower preferred so I can mount it next to the frame and still align with the brake rod)?

A common MC to use is C9AZ-2140-D, this has the 10# residual valves in the MC. This Ford # can be crossed over to your brand. It was used on 67-70 Ford pass. cars with drum brakes. Having the residual valves in the MC itself saves some bucks and real estate as far as plumbing goes. Not sure if the port sizes match the F-100 brake lines, but I think so.

Alright, finally pulled the trigger and ordered the "recommended" master cylinder. Also picked up some 1/4" plate to make the bracket for the master cylinder.

It's a different mount, 2 bolt as opposed to three.

Thank you. I did see that, I'm looking at an adapter. After some more research, I think I know what I need now.

Sorry, no, I haven't finished it yet. It's been too hot outside lately to do any kind of metal work. I'll post pics when I do finish...whenever that happens, lol.
