I see a lot written on MC conversions for the advanced design trucks BUT, is there anything built that I can put in place of the original MC in a 42 Half Ton? Somebody has to have done this. I want to keep the original Drum brakes all around and not destroy anything in case somebody ever wants to put the truck back to original

You can buy new master cylinders that are repops of the original as well as repair kits.

Buffalo Enterprises makes a conversion for the 38. He may have one for your year. He uses the original master for mouting. The dual master bolts on the back with a plate. The pushrod is lenghthened and reaches through the old master to the one bolted on in the rear.
