Brake master cylinder
I have a 1975 C10 Custom Deluxe with the metal capped BMC. Looks like this
Now I was wondering if it's possible to swap over to a master cylinder that looks like this, Do I have to change out the booster if I swap the masters or is it just a straight swap out?

Re: Brake master cylinder
Sorry - we were moving over the weekend so I've been offline -
Two things: a) During the move, I found the actual brake engineering release strategy, with all of the master cylinder specifications and options (for the 1974 models). As soon as I can, I'll post that up (it will help choose the right m/c). b) In general, there are several ways for a master cylinder to not work - * bore size * flare type (ISO vs English) * output side (inboard vs outboard) * output location (ie, front brakes in front, vs front in rear) * quick take up vs non quick take up (affects flange size) * reservior size (affects underhood packaging) * there may be more that I am forgetting right now You'll need to comprehend or overcome these variables in order to determine if that m/c works for you. More to come - K

Re: Brake master cylinder
Thank you for the info Keith. I was just wondering if it was feasable simply because I have seen that same type of master (the second one) on later model C10's. It's getting time to replace the one I currently have now. I figured since I'm gonna replace it, may as well update it at the same time.
