As a matter of fact I think it is the '67 or '68 is the one to use, or for a Mustang with 4 way drums. Something like that. It's also important that the pushrod is the right length and the master cylinder is not "short stroked", or a dual circuit master cylinder will not work as advertised in the event of a leak in the system. Have to test this after installation to be certain.

match the diameter?
I'm subbed, and had a question, which diameter are you talking about?
Warning: I'm a rookie mechanic, but willing to learn.
thanks,

My 2 cents is buy a master cylinder at a local parts house. The quality of the replacement parts for anything as old as these trucks is not what it once was. That way when it goes bad maybe even right out of the box. You can just return it and they will happily give you a new one. My master developed a seep at about a year old. Took it back to O'Reilly's and they gave me a new one, no hassle. Try that with E-bay.

I agree. It’s all made in Japan. I have pretty good luck with my local NAPA parts store.
