Master Cylinder

I did a rear disk brake conversion on my 78 F-250 4x4 ex-cab with a Dana 60 and was wondering which master cylinder to use?

One from a 4 wheel disc set up. I don't know of any direct interchange. Master Power Brakes has one for around 100$

How did you do the conversion? An aftermarket kit or parts from other vehicles?

I bought the brackets from eBay. The rotor is from a 75 ch#%y 3/4 ton. The caliper is from a 75 ch#*y 1/2 ton. I used the brake lines from a 83 monte carlo.

I can't remember if I heard about this conversion (using these parts) here or somewhere else. Where did you learn of it?
