This is lame. I have a 50 1/2 ton and purchased a master cyl. for it. In retrospect I see there are specifically master cyls for 50 and 51. If this is a 51 master cyl and a 50 pickup is there a difference? I don't see it!

Shouldn't make any difference if plumbed correctly.

There is a difference. The 50 on back had the Huck brakes & 1" cyl. bore. The 51 up was Bendix brakes & has a 1 1/8" bore.

They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

Panic over wink hehe. Thanks, y'all are always on the $$.

Just an observation wrt properly working brakes that you don't have to pump. Oh, so THAT'S what my brakes used to feel like!!!!

Boy can my truck stop now smile
