56 gmc master cylinder

[robozride]

I am working on updating my newly purchased 56 gmc. I will be adding a 74 trans am subframe here in the next couple weeks and am looking for options on what master cylinder to use. So... what is it , what did you all use? power or non? firewall or floor? thanks for the input guys.

nice looking truck. Welcome to the site.

I put a 2nd gen Camaro stub under my 57, continued using the stock M/C.

Now I'm going to this to get a dual M/C setup.

So non power? what master cylinder do you run? Youve been running the discs with a single cylinder, how does that act? thanks for the info!

I'm running the C4 Vette rear disc and the 2nd gen Camaro front discs with the stock master. It works OK but needs a booster or something. Need to use a little leg to stop fast.

Going to a dual won't change that, same size bore I think. I just want to have a split system where I still have brakes if something goes wrong on one end or the other.

You know i dont really know. its apretty nice red but than the guy has touched up panels and it doesnt match its kinda orange. I wet sanded the hood and drivers door and the orange cam off real easy like it was a coat or two of enamal. Im pretty sure before spring ill paint it all, and i hate to tell you i think its gonna be dark blue.
