Last brake conversion question...

Ok, I have the entire front end from a 75 chev ready to go into my 70 GMC, and have the lines from the 75 that go to the master cylinder; will these brake lines go onto a disc brake master cylinder from a 71-72? Or do I use a master cylinder from the 75 truck as well? (I also have a power brake booster and master cylinder/prop valve from a 71 to use if it can be adapted to the 75 lines) This is my last hurdle before bolting this thing up tomorrow

Thanks.

I would use the 71 mc and prop valve and booster. Should bolt right to the firewall. Shouldn't be hard to adapt the brake lines.

That's what I did when I converted my 70. AutoZone 19 dollar 72 truck master cylinder and a parts board 20 dollar 72 proportioning valve. I used 2 adapters to adapt the brake line sizes.
