>This whole dual master cylinder has me thinking it would be a safe thing to
add while working on my truck. My question is this. What should I consider
if I decide to go dual on my 2-ton truck? Would it be any different that a
1/2 ton other than size of cylinder? What might be a good donor vehicle?
Neil, as long as the replacement were at least as big in diameter and plunge
depth as your original m/c, you shouldn't have a problem. I don't know the
size of the original m/c for two ton, but I'll bet it wasn't any bigger than
a mustang, camaro or corvette m/c.
Those cars may have been lighter, but they were made to go a lot faster. If
I'm wrong, just plan a field day at the junk yard, looking at the trucks and
big cars for a match to the bracket you get or make.
I just picked up an m/c and 7 inch double booster from a late 70s Gran
Torino. God, what an ugly car. But it had a great set of brakes, even with
a bleeder built into the m/c. Cleaned up real nice, and looks brand new
inside the cyllinder. Not bad for $20. Had to pull it myself, but since it
was mounted right under the hood, it was easy.
