Rick-
I use my dually 1 ton for projects like hauling fence posts, gravel,
railroad ties, and other heavy stuff. I would be concerned about more
effective front brakes, but maybe I'm missing something. Again, what is the
lists' opinion whether I can use two hydrovacs? Will the engine (a 261 if I
ever get it finished) supply enough vacuum? TIA.

One option would be just to run the front brakes with the hydrovac, with the
rear brakes straight. I'm not sure what the pedal would feel like though. In
this case the front brakes would be providing most of the stopping power
unless there were a hydrovac failure, then they should be 50/50 with the
rear.

I want to convert my brake system to dual master cylinder. Will I need to
have two hydrovac units? One for each line. It seems that this would be
the
case. I have a spare from my parts truck that I could add to the frame next
to the existing unit. OR...would it be easier to try a power brake setup?
I
am on a tight budget so cost is a factor.
Thanks, Neil
