Master cylinder
Going to put a duel master in my 55 F100,with all drums, think I have to use a Mustang cylinder, how do you plum the two front lines to this, is there a two to one block for this, the master has only two ports, the 55 had three? Which part on the master do you use for the front brakes, the larger one? Thanks

You can use a disc/drum or disc/disc master cylinder for drum/drum brakes but don't try to use a drum/drum master cylinder for disc brakes. It won't have the fluid capacity required. Since you have 4 wheel drums, it won't matter which port you choose.

I agree you can use a disc/drum MC for drums but the plumbing is different. If no combination valve is used a disc/drum MC will require an inline 10 lb residual valve between the MC and front drums. A drum/drum MC does not need the inline valve for the front since the residual valve is internal.
