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
