Give Master Power (MP Brakes) a call at 888-251-2353 (www.mpbrakes.com)they will sell you the correct master cylinder and a adapater to mount it in the original location. Ypo may want to think about a power booster for the disk/drum combo.

Nathan,
If you put the M/C under the frame I'm sure you are going to need residual check valves, 2lb front-disc/10lb rear drum, and an adjustable proportioning valve.

Nathan, have you done your front disc brakes yet? What set up did you use? I am looking to do the same disc drum on a 51 straight axle. Need any advise you may have. regs

I've just got another truck and haven't picked it up yet. I haven't done it yet. I was looking at my brother's ranchero and I might just use the front part of the booster. I would have to make a plate between the mount it.

Could someone help me on my other post!
