Well, if you have two pistons working in tandem instead of one, you'd need a master cylinder with pistons half the size to keep the same volume for strokes of equal length.
I'd look for a master cylinder that is designed to work with wheel cylinders. There has to be a bunch. I'm not sure, but haven't a number of master cylinders already been suggested by various people at times on this forum?
I don't even know which master cylinder you are trying to replace. But, Dodge trucks in the 60's and 70's had dual circuit master cylinders that were used with drum brakes. I think you would have better luck with them.
I'd go to a parts house that has a book showing photos of all the master cylinders they stock. I just don't think a master cylinder designed for disk brakes is going to work for you, but what do I know?
Or, do as I do. Live with what came with the truck and go surfing. O.K., I don't surf, but you get the idea.
