Brake Master Cylinder

I am getting conflicting information from several different sources on what part of the master cylinder control front or rear brakes. The problem is the rear, small reservoir keeps leaking down. I think it controls the front brakes but some people say it is the rear. I suppose I should add this is on a 83 Ford F-250 4x4. I sure hope y'all agree with me. This is a friends truck at work and I win a bet of a free lunch if I am right, free food always tastes better

the small resevoir controls the rear brakes, the bigger to the front.

Follow the lines from the master cyl to where they go! That should settle the bet!

I had thought about following the lines but its not my truck and the guy lives an hour from me and won't drive it. It was just a running debate at the shop. It looks like I owe someone a lunch too, I hate that worse than ya know. Thank You for the replies.
