This is just one vendor on E-Bay

........http://stores.ebay.com/whiteperforma...=p4634.c0.m322

Don't forget to get new front brake hoses for disc brakes and you will need a new proportioning valve for disc/drum brakes, or disc/disc as the case may be.

A good quality, budget minded option is to use one from a mid 80's C10 truck.

"Nicer looking" is quite subjective. Just make certain it is a 1" bore with a deep hole in the rear cup for manual brakes. Wilwood would be an option in my mind, although I use the 67-76 Corvette cast iron master.
Stay away from all those cheap Chinese masters-chrome alum, ports on both sides etc.

Clean off your existing one and use some cast-iron finish paint on it. It will look brand new and no need to replace a part that still works and bleed your brakes. If you want some "bling" there are a lot of vendors on ebay as stated above.
