It all works good except the master cylinder is pitted and won't hold fluid even with a hone and rebuild kit. Fluid leaks right out the front. After about 2-3 weeks it's out. It is 1.25 inch bore, .25 inch line, about 2 7/8 inch bolt spacing for mounting. Will the cylinder for the 1 ton truck fit? What master cylinder do I need and where would I get it? I have been adding fluid to my cylinder for 12-15 years and bleeding the brakes every time I want to use the truck. It's time. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 3 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 3 | I solved my own problem by looking at other trucks I have and calling a vendor. I think I may have crossed the line when I asked where I could get one. Is that for the swap forum? You know these trucks are so simple to work on, unless you need something for one, what's left to talk about? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 8 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 8 | So what did you end up using? did you use a new/rebuilt original or did you go with a late model dual reservoir? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | Napa part # 9220. Fits 3/4 ton to 2 ton.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | | | | Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 3 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 3 | I used a new one (they said it's new) from obsolete chevy in GA. It strangely enough is the same part number as that napa job you mentioned. 9220. 1 1/4 bore 1/4 inch line. They're all the same up to the 2 ton I guess hydrovac or no hydrovac. Now I won't have to bleed over to the hydrovac when I need to use the truck. | | |
