I searched for info, but either there isn't any, or I don't know how to search.

Is there a dual master cylinder that will bolt in place in a 59 Apache? If not, is it a lot of work to mount one?

Thanks.

You can buy the power boster brake system and bolts in the stock location.no limit or classic truck parts have them.

You would need an adapter bracket to bolt in a more modern dual res master cylinder in your truck. Most of the usual vendors sell them. There is a good tech tip on this.

just use the rod from the hanging brake pedal the one you take the master cyclinder off.You will have too drill new mounting holes in the firewall for the master cyclinder.no need to .buy a adapter.just drill new holes for mounting.things will line up pretty close.never knew they made a adapter for that.just use common scents

There is no hanging pedal on a '59. The mc is under the floor, so you need a bracket to mount a dual res. master cylinder in the stock location whether you buy one or fab one yourself.
