As part of the front brake conversion to disc I am also going with a dual master and replacing all the lines, but I am not sure if I should go with a in line hydraulic or a mechinical one of some sort. I would need to find the switch locally so I am assuming NAPA or CarQuest or whatever may handle either type?

They mount on the sloped portion of the floor on the firewall side with 2 small screws from the inside of the cab. The arm on the switch goes between the brake arm and the floor. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 192 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 192 | Stock switch is the way, $ 13.00 and 15 minutes, from Classic Parts. Just changed mine, very straight forward. | | |
