One other thing.....I spotted a chevy/GMC phone number on here while browsing one day and I'[ll be darned if I can find it again. You give them your vin. #'s and they give you your trucks history. Pretty cool...Thanks, y'all Terry1218 | | | | | Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 5,708 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 5,708 | Terry1218,
Can't you follow the pedal...it should lead you to the master cylinder.

If you lift up the floor mat, you'll see a plug, about 3" in diameter. That is the filler access hole to get to the filler plug on the M/C. The M/C itself is bolted under the cab, to the frame. It's held on by 2 bolts. The pedal arm does have to be removed to get the M/C off. Depending on the condition of the one you have, you migh go ahead and get a price on a replacement M/C as well, just in case you're is too far gone to rebuild.

If they wobble to much you can buy the brass bushings to go in them to tighten them up and make them work smoother. You should notice a grease fitting on the bottom of the pedal as well for greasing the bushing.

It just seemed obvious to me that the master cylinder would be at the other end of the brake pedal.

My convoluted suggestion would have been to start at any wheel cylinder (right front would have been a good choice) and trace the brake line back to the master cylinder; however, this might have led the searcher in multiple directions.
Now that the question has been clearly answered in a few ways, here's another general suggestion: A Shop Manual is quite useful for anyone who owns an old vehicle, and the 47-55 Factory Assembly Manual is often quite useful (both are available from all the usual vendors in the Links section).
