Hard to tell without knowing what year truck and also what brake system. Is it stock or aftermarket?

It's disk brakes front and rear.. I'm looking to just swap the reservoir.. Yea just want some nice looking, I think it's the po took of a newer stock system

Re: Brake reservoir
 
id look into cpp then or wilwood for a disc disc booster. you might want to look for a newer s-10 because that prop valve is not from our era trucks either

There's a lot of different style master cylinders, you need to decide what your intentions for the braking system are so you know what styles will suit your needs. Whatever you choose, I would suggest staying away from the aftermarket brass proportioning valves. They're usually found under the PV2 model designation. My metering valve just started leaking and upon more research I found it's a common problem, which requires a replacement.

mid 90s full size truck like maybe a silverado with the 4 wheel discs. Looks like he used the original prop valve though, drum/drum

The brakes work great just want a smaller brake fluid reservoir

Cheapest route may be to replace it with a CPP Millwood or similar. I wonder if the spacing on the mc is the same for all that use the plastic reservoir? If so, maybe just the reservoir could be replaced...

Buy a whole new one for the reservoir only.

Or there is this

The only problem with switching the m/c is you may run into issues with the bore size in the booster being different than the mc, or brake line disassembling different.

The mounting heights are different.. I may just have to order a cpp or a wilwood, every time I swap out a part it's a can of worms lol

34mm = 1.34 inches ( so closer to 1 & 11/32 inch).
