The Master Cylinder that I use on all my trucks is Bendix 11584, NAPA 39017 with a 1 & 5/16" bore. This is a dual chamber MC keeping the front and rear brakes isolated from each other. In the event of the loss of front or rear brakes, you will still retain brakes on the undamaged axle.
This Master Cylinder is sold for Disk Brake applications and DOES NOT have residual pressure check valves in it as required for drum brakes. It will work fine with drum brakes if you add 10 psi residual pressure check valves available from summit racing.
Some adaptation/fabrication will be required to adapt this MC for use in the OEM location.
