Ther is no direct bolt on replacement for your brake master cylinder. You have basically three options.
1) Install hanging peddles that mount to the fire wall along with the master cylinder. Ray at Ugly Truckling makes them but they will not be available until later this year. Other aftermarket units can be adapted also. You can go with power brakes.
2) Mount dual master to current mount. This will require you to machine an adaptor plate as modern bolts patterns do not match the ff PW mount. Room will be tight with the steering box. You will not be able to add a power booster due to lack of space.
3)Under floor (drivers) set up. Ray again makes one that mounts to the frame and is a boosted system so power brakes. It uses the original peddles. The later ff PW had a setup that mounded on the frame below the drivers floor. It was not boosted but was a dual reservoir. This could be done failrly easily with a custom bracket mounted to the frame and reversing the push rod on the brake peddle (which is easy).
