It is leaking a little and i would like to replace it. pic here One day I would like to go to a dual, but if I can rebuild this one or get a rebuilt cheap I may go that route for now. Thanks Scott

My 65 Dodge 1/2 ton had two, one for the brakes, and another one without the brake light switch for the hydraulic clutch.

| | | | | Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 31 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 31 | Found the casting number on the bottom. Late 40's to early 50's Dodge/Chrysler. It does have a swing pedal. Just going to replace for now. May do an S10 frame swap down the road (probably heresy to some here  ) so will just do the whole upgrade at that time. I am in the process of still learning what I have. It was converted to 5 lug, etc. Still figuring it all out.
