The 62 gmc i had the luck of finding up in the mountains is equipped with a small box for the master cylinder, which also happens to be what i believe is the feed for the hydrualic clutch. I'm in essence doing a restore/mod deal here, anyone know options for a different cylinder or a hydroboost setup? Seems brakes are one of my weaknesses so any input is appreciated.

so are you going to an automatic or something? The brakes will still work with that M.C. The clutch uses a separate rod than the brakes. You just need to make sure it doesn't leak if/when you remove the clutch pedal assembly.

"I'm in essence doing a restore/mod deal here,"

Are you wanting to keep the brakes stock or up grade to power disc?

My plan is to do a T-5 swap behind a sbc, and keep the brakes stock. From what I've seen the drums will work just fine, was curious about brake boosters since I have heard they make a noticable difference. As i plan to make the truck my D.D and pull the occasional boat/trailer etc.
