Re: Hard line Brake lines??

hey tony! that was gonna be my next question...i wasnt sure if a brake booster was only for disc brakes or if its compatible with both...i was gonna pick up a reman. master cylinder from the local parts store for about $20, but now that i know about the dual chamber, id rather go with that...where do you think the best place to pick one up is?...and when you say bench bleed, do you mean take the master cyl. out and bleed it separately from the lines or bleed it through the lines?

oh and by the way tony...when the 63 got to the house,just cause im a little jaded after the 66 bucket... i checked the frame, inner fenders, radiator support and tore up the carpet in the cab/firewall and.....NO ROT!...not even anything more than what can be taken down with a quick sanding (well, the cab and most of the frame at least) lol

This upgrade really enhances the stopping ease on these trucks, as long as the other components are well serviced and maintained.
