Master Cylinder

My Master Cylinder has a leak, and I want to maybe upgrade it when my truck goes down for head gaskets in 2 weeks.

I have a 74 C20, and I have the good old cast iron 2 hole.

Does the aluminum from the later trucks bolt-on easy enough? Maybe with just a slight trim to the push rod.

Re: Master Cylinder

The later aluminum master will bolt in but unless you have 11" rear drums you should not use one.
There is no advantage to them over cast iron units.
Most c20 have 13" rear drums.
Yopu could bolt one in though
