Any more info on this. I feel the need for a dual MC for safety reasons.
i have a 61 c10 and i think i have every thing i need to complete the master swap. im useing a master i bought from autozone for $15 bucks it is from a 67 c10.
just have a few questions first thanks
1. do i have to drill new holes for this master
2. what mods are needed for push rod(pics please)
3.what is everyone useing for brake lines (they said n/a at auto zone) mine are a little soft.

thanks for all the info

1) No holes need to be drilled...it'll bolt right up.

2) The push rod had to be extended. I sold my black truck, and for some reason never got pics of the rod. I cut the stock rod in half, then welded more rod between the two. I still retained the adjuster part of the rod. Once the master is installed, and the pedal is in it's released position (check your bump stops too) you want the tip of the rod to be about 1/16" to 1/8" max away from the piston.

3) I purchased some straight pieces of line from my local fittings store (or a speed shop).....it came with ends. Bent them and double flared them myself.
