An even dumber question---would a stock master cylinder be able to push
enough fluid for a non power front disk brake setup or would a new master
cylinder have to be installed also. Since redoing my rear end and finally
getting it under the truck, got different bolt pattern now (front to rear)
and want to get the same all way around. Gonna have to get new
wheels--finally be able to rid myself of the polished aluminum ones, kinda
like a black vehicle-they look good when cleaned but its a job... Just
wandering if I could use the stock master cylinder, install a proportioning
valve, and use the front disc brake kit that are available to match the
bolt pattern. This way I can buy new wheels--the same all the way
around..... --wayne
