Correct Master Cylinder?

[kchampagne]

Hey all,

I apologize up front if this question has already been vetted on here, but I have been searching the threads high and low and can't seem to find the best answer. I have a 65 Burb 4x4 and the previous owner swapped the front and rear axles from a 72 Blazer (I believe), with front disc and rear drum. The brakes did not work, so I plan start from scratch and replace pretty much all of the brake components (master cylinder, hoses, lines, calipers and pads, p valve, rotors, lines, etc.). The hydraulics are manual (no booster), and my plan is to keep it manual and just swap new, correct parts. The question I have is, since it is a manual system, should I be using a MC from a 69-70 or a 71-72? From my research, it seems that the 71-72 MC should be used in conjunction with booster and therefore I should use a MC from 69-70 instead? The attached picture is the manual setup installed by the previous owner, so I am not sure it is correct since it did not work. I believe this is a 71-72 MC. Thanks so much!
