Re: master cylinder?
The 3/4 ton master cylinder is opposite from the 1/2 ton master cylinder. The 1/2 ton has the front reservoir for the front discs. The 3/4 has the rear reservoir for the front discs.
The 3/4 ton booster and reservoir can be used on the 1/2 ton trucks. Jim

Re: master cylinder?
Another way to tell is to look at the size of each resevoir. The larger one is for the discs
