Master Cylinder for 4 Wheel Disc Brakes #1365283 06/17/2020 4:30 PM

Buckkoo 'Bolter B Joined: Jan 2016 Posts: 36 Kerr Lake, NC	I've completed the 14 bolt rear end replacement on my 1950 GMC 250. I replaced the leaf springs, pins and bushings while I was at it. I'm using 76-78 Eldorado calipers on the back so I'll have parking brakes with brackets from Barnes 4WD to mount the calipers. Up front I've installed 75 Blazer calipers with a kit from TMS. Now that I have 4 wheel discs, I'm looking for a good power master cylinder combination, any suggestions? 1950 GMC 250 Pickup 1965 Mustang Convertible 1972 K5 Blazer 1973 Buick Centurion 455 Convertible

Also, I see some kits with brake pedals, some without https://www.ebay.com/itm/1947-54-Chevy-Truck-Frame-Mount-Booster-Conversion-Kit-Brake-Pedal-7-Dual/201107335846?_trkparms=aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20200520130830%26meid%3Dbb9498876cdf455cb630b53915338219%26pid%3D101195%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D12%26mehot%3Dag%26sd%3D151875426223%26itm%3D201107335846%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DSimplAMLv5PairwiseWebWithBBEV2bDemotion&_trksid=p2047675.c101195.m1851 https://www.tuckersparts.com/Spare-Tire-Bolt-Kit.html?cat=1201 1950 GMC 250 Pickup 1965 Mustang Convertible 1972 K5 Blazer 1973 Buick Centurion 455 Convertible
