Hello again board.
My master cylinder has started to leak.
I searched this site and found the link to the Ugly Truckling article about upgrading to a dual master cylinder.
I was wondering if this is considered to be the no-brainer way to go rather than replacing with a stock master cylinder.
Any current opinions on this?
Thanks,
Dan

For me it certainly was! I made a 1/4" thick plate to bolt to the running board where the stocker mounts, mounted up the new one by drilling 5 holes in teh plate, 3 for the original bolts and 2 for the new cylinder. I even used hte original push rod. Works betteer than the stocker, and more importantly, is much more safe in the event of a line break.

Ray's back in town and taking orders.

Josh,

Very interested in your solution to single MC issue.

1. What MC did you use?
2. Do you still have drum brakes (front & rear)?
3. Any chance you could post picture(s) of your installation.

THANKS

Here is a link to Ugly Tuckling which is Ray's sight follow this link for the info on the Chevy 1 ton M/C install.

I did the front disk conversion and the M/C. I can tell you that it is easy to do and is a fantastic improvement in stopping power. No comparrison to the original at all it is so much better.

XD, I used a 1978 Chevy C30 master cylinder. I mounted it up using Ray's website as an installation guide. If you feel motived, dig through my rebuild thread and there are some pictures of it in there, otherwise I can dig some up for you later as well. Josh

Josh - THANKS
