It's for my 1961 with an auto trans, no power booster and all drums.

I guess I want to make sure I'm spending my money on the best option for my set up without moving up to a power booster system.

Thanks,
Scott

It's 70 bucks - hard to get killed to bad on that one. Check it out and let us know.

I'm happy to spend more if I can get something that offers more braking power.

It's more of a statement of performance for my current configuration rather than looking for the cheapest price.

Mostly, can you use master cylinders from other, newer years that may perform better?

Were you planning on splitting the lines? I'm not familiar with the earlier trucks but I would split the lines if I were rebuilding. I used the 'Corvette' ms/cyl on my '66.

Yes, I'm just not familiar with what bolts to the earlier set up. Do you have the integrated clutch cyl. too?

You can definitely do it for less than I spent on this set-up using factory parts.

no prop valve needed, you are 4 wheel drums. 67 C10 MANUAL brake master cylinder works nice also. Will post a linky when I can find it - chief rocka has a good thread also.
