Re: help with brakes
No, the stock master is a single curicuit one resivour feeds all 4 drums, the other as you know feeds the clutch
You need a dual master cylinder for DISC brakes . You can use one off of a 72 c10 non power master. What do you plan to use for the clutch ?

Re: help with brakes
I agree with Sal.
You will need to convert to a dual reservior master that is designed to operate a disc/drum brake system. Manual masters were available from '71 thru about '76. Don't forget you'll need the proportioning valve.

Re: help with brakes
thanks fellas, i have a proportioning valve, and im gettin a non power master from a 74 tomorrow from napa for disk/drum. for the clutch, wilwood has a master for like 49 bucks so i figure ill just use that. my next question is the rubber mounts for the bell houseing/trans, where can i get those, im not sure if the ones i have are correct cause the truck was kinda tossed together when i got my hands on it.

Re: help with brakes
I'm kinda new at this but I think LMC Truck might be a good start for the mounts. When purchasing, I have been told to buy the mounts for the year of the bell housing as opposed to the year of the truck however it may not matter.

Re: help with brakes
I like to use the manual master cylinder for an early 80s era truck. It's aluminum with plastic reservoir so they never rust or get looking ugly.

Re: help with brakes
If you're using the original slave cylinder, you will want the Wilwood master with a 1" bore.
