No problem.
What I used has a 1.625" bore and was from a truck (and for one) with disc front and rear.

Don't get stuck on the Ford booster if what you find is a Dodge or GM one. They all have the same mechanism (same manufacturer)and work just as good but have different master cylinder bolt patterns. Choose the MC you want and then get the booster for the same truck.

I used the Ford because it has a removable plastic reservoir and I needed a remote one. Easy enough to make fittings to replace the reservoir on the MC with hoses.

I've used one complete with MC off of a P30 GM step van chassis on another truck.
