1972 C60 Master Cylinder size help - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I can find most answers to my questions with the search function and Googling stuff, but I am stuck on this. I have a '72 C60 that is about back on the road, rebuilt the 366 and now I am working on the brakes. The master cylinder is shot, a rehone didn't help and I can't find a rebuild kit anywhere, so I am ready to get a new one. Now the issue is the master cylinder that I took off is a 1.5" bore, which should be right for a F070 7,500lb front axle, but I also have the 9000# spring option with a 23,000lb rear axle. So should this have the 1.75" bore master? Here is my RPO sheet, and any help is appreciated.

This is a 55K mile truck without rust and it is getting put back to work hauling bales and wood chips.

I found the master cylinder and things are bled properly now, but the hydrovac isn't working so I am searching for a replacement.

Is it a dual unit? If so, take a look at a NAPA NBB518009.

No its a single unit, I am sending it to Cardone for and R&R on Monday. New wheel cylinders will go in as well so other than a couple of hard lines the brake system will be new.
