After many yars of waiting, I am finally going to start on the M37.
I will be having the brakes ungraded to a dual cylinder setup, what have yall found to be a reliable set up that does not make much cutting into the basics of the body/frame. Thank you.

I changed mine over to a NAPA 39075 which is the same bore,1 1/4", as the original. It was for a 1978-1980 K 20 Chevy pickup. I had to put a couple holes in the frame for the lines to go through but it was an easy replacement. Joe
Re: Master cylinder recommendations
Did you have to "bend" the input shaft slightly per the Ugly Truckling instructions?

It's been a long time since I did it but I went and looked at mine and I didn't have to bend the shaft. Joe

Re: Master cylinder recommendations
In over a half-century of driving M37's, I've never had a MC fail, just get a bit mushy.
However, I have had the metal ends of NOS brake hoses blow off for a real pucker-factor experience.
