I've been considering a safety upgrade to a dual reservoir master cylinder so that front and back brakes are independent in the event I ever lose pressure in a break line. Does anyone know of a good replacement master cylinder for this? My truck is stock and I intend to keep it that way.

Most vendors carry the master and there’s a good video on YouTube from Brothers Truck, that shows the installation. Dual Master ConversionThere is another for running the brake lines. Brake Lines
