I have done everything but change the booster/master cylinder. All my local auto parts stores around here can do a darn thing with out the year and make of your vehicle. How can I match a master cylinder to the after market one on my truck??

The master being under the floor and the heat generated by the drum brakes expand the components, making the pedal firm up.
