Thanks Otto! I remember driving this truck years ago and it did drive and stop fine. I guess the big reason is safety? Dual reservoirs so you don't lose front and rear brakes at the same time. I'm hoping with everything being new, my brakes will be fine for quite awhile. I wonder if there is just a replacement master cylinder for a 1946 that just bolts in place. I've not seen any.
I've never owned a modern car. Every car I've owned was built before 1973 and every truck before 1980 (95 F150 is my mom's).
Every vehicle in my signature line has a single reservoir system with the exception of the Ford trucks. I have never had a brake failure due to a leak anywhere in the system.
I'm sure you, like virtually all of us with antique cars, is obsessive about checking every aspect of the vehicle frequently. Keep an eye on everything and fix stuff as soon as it starts to go bad and you won't have any trouble.
