I am eventualy going to buy the 5 lug disc brake kit from either classics or brothers (probably the same one) for my 51 GMC my question is i know they offer the master cylinder for a disc/disc conversion. im sure that the master cylinder they offer has to be offered by a local parts store for a lot less $$$$ it has to be a particular master cylinder for a certain year chevy truck. does anyone know which one it is. I want the master cylinder to attach to the chassis like the original

If you're going to the disc/disc configuration then try a Corvette master. If going to a disc/drum configuration go with a mid 70's car or truck. You'll still need to fab a bracket to mount it to the frame or reinforce the firewall and install it there. You should also get an adjustable proportioning valve since the vehicle weights will differ from each other. Then there's the mounting of a booster to consider.......

You can buy a bolt on MC specific for your truck with booster and proportioning valve and comes with a bracket from most suppliers. I bought mine from Classic Performance Products.
