brakes are fixed

I installed a Master Cylinder for a 93 F450. I have to drill out the holes a little but when I got the braked bled out, the pedal is hard as new truck and only travel about 2 inches to the floor and dont fade to the floor at all. I test drove the truck and all works great, braking smooth and even. The Master Cylinder fromthe F450 is considerably larger, in fact it held a whole large bottle of fluid and the part that contains the valves is about twice rthe size of the original. Anyway, works great

I could not get the proper pedal from the factory size M/C as well as I could not get one, new at Autozone, that would not leak. So far the bigger one has not leaked and I have plenty of pedal AND, it does not fade as the original did
