65 frame/front 72 disc brake/steering questions? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Do you think the stock master cylinder will do an okay job of stopping the front disc brakes? I'm really not in the mood to change it out too but I'm thinking it needs to be done.

I changed mine. they are cheap at the auto parts store. the one on my truck was not a dual master cyl.

Was it a direct swap. I went ahead and put in the second line for the rear so I'm heading in that direction. How did you set up the push rod. Did you have to adjust it back or forward or anything. Those SS wheels. Are they 5x5 bolt pattern?

I had to have the brake rod extended by 2 1/2 inches. The wheels are 5x5 inch.

I did the same swap on my 64. Used the commom gm dual master cyl and a prop valve from a mid 80s truck. Works real good and was cheap. NO MODIFICATION, a direct bolt on. You dont want to keep that single master cyl
