I'm getting ready to start on the brakes of my 'new' 1948 chevy 1/2 ton. The brakes are crummy and the master is dripping. I like the idea of upgrading to a dual m/c, and a power-boosted dual isn't really much more than a non-boosted cylinder. I've found one at CPP and one at Performance Online (POL), with the POL cylinder being a little cheaper. Does anyone have experience doing this conversion on a '48, or any info on the differences between these two cylinders? They both claim to bolt onto the stock m/c bracket.

I had a Dual M/C...Drum/Drum on my 50.
It was bolted in the stock location

I have since upgraded to Disc/Drum. still in the stock location

The Disc/Drum kit is a P.O.L. kit.

I do not have the power booster.
