It will have front disks and good rear drums. We are talking 55-60 mph. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 166 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 166 | Thanks for the compliments guys!
You both will probably be fine with manual dual M/C's.
My truck is 3/4 ton so it already has bigger brakes and the setup I have will just about toss you thru the windshield if you hit the brake pedal hard enough!

That is what I need but way over what I was thinking I would have to spend for a master cylinder. You find what you were looking for? | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 487 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2005 Posts: 487 | Here's an example of the adapter bracket. link Its available from almost every supplier. You can source the master cylinder from your FLAPS. I used a 67-69 C10 one. regards, Leon | | | | | Joined: Sep 2012 Posts: 31 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2012 Posts: 31 | kswillie, Im still looking. I've seen some double masters that look like they might. work at CPP. for a really good price! Leon Thanks for the heads up on the bracket thats the part of the switch that I was most concerned with !
