Carl, is the original master cylinder for the Huck brakes compatible with both systems, or would it need to be upgraded also? I've seen the manual-adjust Bendix brake systems converted to self-adjusting with some relatively minor hardware changes.

Jerry, I have dealt with '52 Bendix, '50 Huck, and '49 Huck (all 3100 models). The only difference in the master cylinders was the plumbing coming out of the back of it. This had more to do with a 1951 and later change in front brake line routing rather than any difference between master cylinder design used on trucks equipped with either Huck or Bendix.
I am currently driving a '50 with a '50 master cylinder, Huck front brakes, and whatever Nissan Xterra put on their rear ends. The truck stops like a modern vehicle.
