64 disk brake conversion

I'm gathering the parts to do the disk brake conversion on my 64 am also going to upgrade my master cylinder to a duel.I read in the tech section that a master cylinder from a 68-70 mustang will bolt up.Here is my question,should I get the disk/drum M/C or the drum/drum M/C and if I get the disk/drum do I need a proportioning valve?

You MUST use the correct master cylinder for the brakes you will be using. Disc requires a disc manster, drums one for a drum system. Mix/match of the bore sizes will cause you endless headaches and possibly brakes that will not work at all.

I bought the basic kit from CPP looks the same as most other kits.I read the article in the tech section by Skip Porter on how to up grade the brakes on 64 and earlier trucks.He said he used a master cylinder from a 68-70 mustang in his disk brake conversion.He didn't say if it was a disk/drum or drum/drum master cylinder.
